St Helen's Church

History

This small Grade II Listed church is built in the Gothic style. It stands on what remains of a medieval village. The building was rebuilt in 1850 and later restored in 1913.

From what I can gather The Church Commissioners closed the church back in 2010 – Between then and 2012 it appears local people held occasional services at the church. Sadly with an ever increasing list of essential repairs to the building the future of this fascinating site remains uncertain.

Although the church is very small in size, I still found it a really fascinating plae and spent a good couple of hours wandering around the inside and outside as the light was perfect on a crisp winters morning.

I have kept the photos to a minimum as this is a well explored site.

Visited with Judderman62 and a couple of non-members.

Cheers to WakeyLad for the information abouth this place
