Amberley Parish Church

This is in a lovely little church in Amberley its St Michaels church and when I saw the the bell ropes all neatly tied up I thought that would make a different church picture.

I took this information from a walk guide as I wasnt sure about its details before buts very interesting.

"Amberley Castle and St Michael?s Church, Amberley were both built shortly after the Norman Conquest by Bishop Luffa, using French masons who had been brought over to England to build Chichester Cathedral. The castle ? one of three country palaces for the Bishops of Chichester ? was considered necessary to defend the Bishops from peasants in revolt and from marauding pirates. Today, the castle is an exclusive hotel"

I didnt go to the castle today but will soon
