St James' Church - Clapton on the Hill, Gloucestershire
Image: © Martin Richard Phelan Taken: Unknown
Here in the village of Clapton, also known as Clapton on the Hill or Clapton Super Montibus, is a sight I have not often seen – a gate of horseshoes. There is another such at Lower Harford Image also in Gloucestershire to the north-west of Bourton on the Water but there may be more in other places. The church of St James here has another – carved on the chancel arch is an indulgence giving a thousand days for the reciting of a Pater and an Ave. The earliest parts of the church date from the 12th century and underwent a restoration in 1670.
