Some wonderful period and contemporary stained and etched glass and lovely exposed wall painting features to admire.
If you time it right there's also a plum tree at the gate(!)
A gem of a church in a remote location. Unique design with a thatched nave and tower. Interesting wall paintings and a retable that is dazzling in its original colouring.
Unable to look inside church on a Tuesday but a delightful setting and quite unusual thatched roof
Beautiful little thatched church, where remarkable 14th century wall paintings were uncovered during a restoration.
They are now uncovered and preserved.
The church also had many informative booklets about the history and what they depict. Well worth a stop to see this treasure.
Brilliant little church with very interesting history, from the ancient pictures on the walls to the screen behind the altar.
Beautiful peaceful church and grounds
