Normanton church

Lovely morning at Rutland water.

Normanton church is a Rutland icon. This lovely classical building stands on a narrow peninsula of land jutting out into Rutland Water. It was created by architect Thomas Cundy for the Earl of Ancaster, on the foundations of earlier buildings dating back to the 14th century. The medieval church here was rebuilt in the 1760s in classical style, and again rebuilt by the 4th baronet to create the church we see today.
