I finally remembered to take some photos of our village church. As you can see, even without lights it is a bright, airy building.Records indicate that there was a christian church on this site in the eleventh century. The earliest evidence of the present building is of a church gradually reconstructed and enlarged during the third and fourth decades of he 13th century.
The fourth photo from the top is of a map of the parish produced on leather. Unfortunately it is behind a glass panel and difficult to photograph. The map was mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086.
The tower has a significant lean, but as the fifth photo from the top indicates, it has been leaning for some time.
Nice pics Don, the church does look ever so nice in them doesn't it, what did you think of the map, it's amazing isn't it.
