Very beautiful and a reliable BW. Early Medieval: does it mean Roman age?
Hi Giulio, the village is of Roman origin, but the Church is Anglo-Saxon, it probably originates around the time of the Norman conquest in the 11th Century.

I love that sky, as in the other one you posted from this location..Does this church have any stained glass windows, especially medieval?
David
Hi David, yes it does, although I couldn't get inside to see them properly as it was locked. The windows do look medieval to me and some have beautiful ornate stone frames. There are also a couple more notable features. The church has an Anglo-Saxon porch with ancient oak beams forming a cruck and also has an unusual medieval stone in the graveyard with grotesque faces carved on it. I don't know how old the stone is.

Not much wind in the trees and such blurr with the clouds. Cool.
