I'm not normally one for churches (I tend to burst into flames!), but I couldn't pass this one up.
Therer's a delightful old wooden 'turn'-stile into the field containing the church, which is contained in the middle of a field.
As juamei says, there's a trapdoor to the right inside the church proper, and a sarsen can be seen here. There's what looks like a drill hole, at least 6 inches deep into the stone, and the end nearest the door looks as if it's been sheared at some point - very flat and angular. Sadly, the other trapdoor cannot be opened due to staging being constructed over it - I'll try writing to the church conservation people to find out why.
It was a very peaceful and cool place to rest on a warm day though. And there are information leaflets available about the church (which don't mention the sarsens at all).This post appears as part of the weblog entry Too far, and too wide a net... |
