A lovely building and very peaceful inside. Speaking with a local the church was built as part of a dowry for one of the local Lords to get married to someone's daughter. Didn't get a name unfortunately. The church is exceptionally large given the size of the village. As part of said dowry, the school opposite (now closed) and local houses were also built.
A small village with lovely and friendly people, and a lot of footpaths where you can enjoy nature, free parking and interesting history about this village. The church provides toilets and hot drinks.
Impressive Victorian Church Architecture. Huge Spire.
High Victoriana at its best. Easily located and space for 2-3 cars by its gate. Perfect.
Beautiful and very peaceful church
