Pleasant cool oasis within city chaos. Mostly quiet except when football is played out on top of the unmarked graves. The graves are unmarked due to all of the headstones being removed, from the graves, and stacked against a side boundary wall. After a few years they were all removed and crushed to use as road filling. No photographic records were made before their movement and subsequent destruction. Evidently its now common practice to clear small, full up graveyards, to make as picnic areas. Built in 1889 at todays value of 1.2 Million pounds, but it seems that no-one thought about spending £100 to make a record, of the deceased, for their descendants.

Surprisingly large church. It doesn’t look as large from the outside and then you get inside. The architecture is beautiful and the hammerbeam roof is very well preserved. It is very light and airy and has good displays about the history of the church going back to the Saxon period.

Beautiful Church, too bad it was closed. It is part of English culture, I should say The Part of English identity. Sadly, in a postmodernist world we tend to ignore traditions and identity. But for those who believe, like me also, we will never give up. God bless

Wonderful anglican church with a lovely and peaceful green space next to it, with benches and well-cared-for lawn. However, I wasn't able to go take a look inside two days in a row, a real shame. I'll blame covid for this however.
