Pretty tree-lined avenue in the War Memorial Park. Pack yourself some lunch and take a seat on one of the many picnic benches along here.

The trees have been cut down and I bet the house owners will complain people can look down on them now. Should have left the trees…

The church was built in 1842. It is built from the local red stone and consists of a nave, chancel and a north porch with a brick bellcote over the west gable. It is one of the first archaeologically conscientious churches in England … an attempt at least at recreating the local village church … the attitude is unmistakably the Victorian as against the pre-Victorian. Lord Leigh of Stoneleigh, who was a scholarly poet and a member of Christ Church, Oxford, provided the site, the endowment and the stone from his nearby quarry. It was designed for 300 people, with two-thirds of the sittings being free and was completed by 1845, although a vestry was later added in 1876.
