Village church

I love the way that bliping makes you look at the world around you in a slightly different way. I passed the local church many times during the week but never really take the time to appreciate it.

I think it's the pace of modern life. I have lived in the village for a long time but have never been in the church or investigated its history.

The first chapel on the site of the present church was built in the early 16th century. All that remains of this chapel is a stone in the churchyard which has been used for sharpening spears and knives.This chapel was damaged in the Civil War. The present church dates from 1736.
The church was badly damaged by a land mine on 28 November 1940. Until it was damaged by the land mine, it was one of the least restored early Georgian churches in the diocese of Chester.
