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 12th-century tympanum over the door.

This holy place is wild but not savage, and perhaps just a little enchanted.
