Stunning

Regarding the good condition -I can only imagine, aside form the Church's remote location, that it's because it looks like it's still in use from the outside. Thanks for sharing DJR -any pics up the Tower?

No I am originally from Grimsby but been living in Gt Yarmouth for 34 years. So I guess I would qualify as being a local after all that time. Where is this bunker you talk about.?

Sadly not but I can tell you that about half way up the tower is a wooden platform with a hatch.
Wish I'd taken more pics of the inside to be honest.

It would have been nice to see the tower or the Font. I may have a trip out there this weekend and see what I can do with my Fuji. Was there a nice font in front of the Vestry at all.? I f there was no one about it seems like a golden oppurtunity to have a snoop around.

I honestly can't remember if there was a font or not.
I wasn't going to mention this as everyone here will not believe I didn't take advantage of this but...there's a huge ladder going up to that hatch in the tower. Only reason I didn't have a look is because the wife wouldn't let me near it

I am not a big fan of heights at all. But I will have a look and try and get up to the Bellfry and take some pics. I love old churches and even ruined ones as well.
