St Veep Parish Church

Image: © Tony Atkin Taken: 10 Aug 2006

This church sits at the confluence of four grid squares. I am submitting it in this square as it seems to be the one in which the majority of the building sits! It was originally dedicated to St Veepus but was rededicated when it was rebuilt in 1336 to St Cyrus and St Julietta. The church, like many others locally was extensively restored in the 19th century. It has a peal of 6 bells which were cast in a nearby field in 1770 and famously have never needed tuning, such bells are known as 'maiden bells'.
