Inspired by your post I went with Friend today. Information in the little booklet purchased says "The name of it is Saxon, and means the stone (or stone building) of Ealac. No stone can now be identified with certainty but the smaller one against the wall in the vestry may well be 10th century. No other like it is known, and there is just a possibility that it is the stone which gave the village its name. Its remarkable non-Christian pattern should be studied"

Here are a few random pics taken in the church today. The light in the Chancel is natural and comes from the side windows.

How excellent, June, it looks superb. I will definitely get there. but I think only once it warms up as I'd like to get drawing. I found a brilliant romanesque north door with beaky animals and allsorts, quite local but I'd not heard of it before, it's funny how amazing things can be on your doorstep and you never know. I started drawing it but my eyes were streaming and my hands got so painful with the cold i was forced to retreat :)
