Day 213/22. St John the Baptist

Out with my little drone today and an ancient church close to where we live. It's also the church where we got married 35 years ago...
An ancient church which has stood on a hill for over a thousand years, providing a peaceful haven away from the villages that surround it with stunning views over the Hampshire countryside. In 1304 the Knights Hospitallers acquired the church with the right to appoint the incumbent and in 1348 North Baddesley became the headquarters of the Knights Hospitallers (Order of the Knights of St. Johns), remaining there until the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
