Visit Notes

Sunday, 19th October 2003

This church ruin is on private land and takes a little walk to get to. I had tried previously, but the foot and mouth restrictions were in place then so I never got to it. I thought I'd give it a try today. To reach it walk along the road from the gatehouse until you reach a lane to the right. Opposite this you will see a gate and the church 300m beyond. Climb the gate and walk to the right around the barn and down to the style.

This one seems to be built on the same access as the main cathedral building and offers a good place to see the round tower clearly from.

The west door is quite nice with large stonework and a beaded detail. The exterior of the east window has a key pattern and two animal head corbels.
