A rugged remnant on a cliff

The rugged remains of this medieval church sit dramatically on a cliff above Stoke Bay. It has a strangely monastic feel to it. The aisle and porch have carved wagon roofs, but the rest of this atmospheric church is a picturesque ruin as it was abandoned by parishoners around 1870 in favour of the new church built at Noss.
