Half an hour earlier there had been a snow shower (see Image]). St Mary's Church is mostly of the 13th and 14th centuries but, wrote Nikolaus Pevsner, "[t]he top of the tower is interesting as an example of early C18 Gothicism. It was rebuilt after the original spire had fallen down in 1703. Square with big crocketed pyramid pinnacles. The treatment of the shallow buttress strips is specially typical. So is the cornice at the foot of the C18 stage."
