Day 17.183: Village; church

Here are some pictures from a little walk around the village where we were staying.

Street with thatched cottage

Grand thatched house 

We visited the church:

Exterior of church


Interior of church


where we spotted a few slightly strange things:

Carved face at end of stone arch

And read this summary of part of the history:

Framed typewritten list of incumbents of the church

Which saved the best until the very last line:


which reads, “1543 - Disturbance in the Church over Mass in English 3 Parishioners jailed for 3 weeks”
