The southern section of St Mary's churchyard. St Mary's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1263631 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1263635 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1263650 is tucked away on the edge of the village, located off the narrow Station Road and linked with it by an unsurface lane which is even narrower. The church can't be seen from a distance because there is no church tower giving away its location. Restored in Victorian times, there still is the original 13th century doorway, and the square font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1263655 dates from Norman times. The royal arms to George III > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1263638 are described as being some of the finest in the county; a couple of medieval bench ends > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1263648 are adorned with carved figures and animals and the nave roof is of arch-braced hammerbeam construction. The church is open every day - if you can find it.
