St John The Baptist Church Shedfield

I went to see a dear friend who lives in Shedfield today and passed this beautiful church on the way, I happened to mention it and was given an in-depth history of it so I thought I would share it with you.

St John the Baptist Church, Shedfield was consecrated on 20th March 1880 and is a Grade II listed building, built with coursed stonework externally and detailed brickwork internally.

 A tower at the west end has a clock, flag mast and a set of eight bells.  It stands impressively surrounded by churchyard with laurel hedges.

As I was raining quite hard I took a photo of the inside rather than risk getting my camera wet but will return another day as the church and its grounds are very beautiful
