I grew up in this village[1] and went to this church when I was young. The church is though to date to early 12th century but there have always been a church there since Anglo Saxon times.
I'm no longer a believer but I absolutely love history.

- midasuni 5y agoI used to live near a church that quartered troops during the English civil war, it dated back to the 1100s. The new village I’ve moved to has a practically new church, only the 1600s. My own house however is more impressive - I have the original deeds going back to 1831, which is quite humbling looking through them.
