Visit Notes

Tuesday, 18th December 2001

This church has little to offer in its own rite despite a little sign telling you of architectural features to look at. What it does house though id on of the most splendid effigies I have seen. Now propped against the north wall of the church it stands around 2 m tall.

It is known as the 'Caldwell Fada' because of its size (a little sign tells you).
