A remote and romantic place
This tiny gem of a church in its farmyard setting is both remote and romantic. Built by the Normans shortly after the Conquest, it lies down a lane deep in the countryside.
Its atmosphere is reinforced by crumbling plaster walls and simple earth floor. There is a twelfth-century tympanum over the door. This holy place is wild but not savage, and perhaps just a little enchanted.
