Visit Notes

Sunday, 7th April 2002

A totally unplanned stop. I just saw the sign and needed a break from driving and so stopped to take a look. The church is quite late (1500s) but unusually has two towers. In one of these is a rather nice, but broken, effigy on a large tomb.

The church houses a nicely carved font and altar as well as a well carved maze.

Outside the church are the remains of an cross that is unusual in design.
