I do not give out locations so please don't ask as this protects the locations from vandals and thieves. I always document what i see in realtime so you the viewer can experience what i experience whilst on these explores.

Yo whats good guys, today I take you into a looked after church. I love exploring churches as some of them have some amazing and wonderful features and it’s a nice place to relax and take a break from the usual abandoned stuff that I post.

I can tell you that this Chuch was first recorded in 1205 and it’s likely that the Chuch existed before 1205.

Throughout its lifetime, the church has been altered, rebuilt and restored, creating an intriguing patchwork of speckled stone. The infilled doorway on the north elevation and infilled west window is evidence of the Norman building, while the rebuilding campaign in the 14th century is seen in tracery of the nave and chancel windows.

The unusual font may also date from this time. Octagonal in form, it is roughly carved with tracery, figures, fish, a bridled horse and several abstract motifs. Some of the carvings are clearly late medieval, while others appear to be Romanesque. Most peculiar, however, is that several of the carvings appear to be upside-down!

Half-way up in to the west wall, there are the remains of a square fire-place. This clearly served a first-floor room, but all other traces of this have been lost. The church was restored in 1822 and all but rebuilt in 1882. The latter has left us with a Neo-Norman arch which leads up four steps to the chancel, where the east window by C.E. Kempe depicts the Resurrection.

Thanks for looking 😎
