St Michael's Church, Buslingthorpe

2013-06-26

A relic from a Medieval past

Set in gently rolling countryside, St Michael's Church stands framed by the large trees surrounding the part-moated farm to the east.

This church is one of the few remaining buildings remaining on the site of a deserted Medieval village. Apart from its suqare tower, the church was rebuilt in 1835 in brick.

Unassuming outside it hides treasures within: two extraordinary 14th-century monuments to the local De Buslingthorpe family - one a brass effigy of a knight in armour on a tomb chest, showing clearly the clothes worn in battle at that time.
