Top of St Mary's
The fine tower and pinnacles of the church - along with a shining weathervane. The tower was hit by lightning in 1605 - just after the Gunpowder Plot. A letter written by the schoolmaster to the King inferred the wrath of God and implying the plot of recent weeks; the result was that the tower was rebuilt swiftly.

An ancient sign of death
This tablet in St Mary's church is dated 1662, following the rebuilding of the tower a few decades earlier. The stark skull was quite a common feature of memorial stones and tablets of that era.
