A lovely looking church. I visited purely for taking photographs of the outside. It was early April so the trees were still pretty bare of any leaves. Once they grow then the views of the church will be limited as the main aspect of the church is surrounded by trees. Still, you can get creative and look for other viewpoints to take photos from.

Beautiful medieval church in a lovely setting. Rather cold due to heating problems at the moment.

We attended a private function in the Church Hall recently and found the location easily accessible from the Highways road network. The Church Hall is a most well appointed and comfortable venue with characteristic, interior light oak beams and matching wood finished architecture. This building is most impressive and professionally finished.

Classic old village church. Good acoustics for the evening chorale concert. Dress warmly.
