More about this scene
The short battlemented tower adorns an attractive group of 18th- and 19th-century houses at the south-eastern end of the village. This is not a church to visit in search of an uplifting architectural experience, but the single east window is spectacular. Possibly given by William IV to the victor at the Glorious Fourth of June 1794, Earl Howe of Gopsal Hall, the medieval stained glass was assembled from various sources, including St Denis, the Sainte-Chapelle, and Le Mans Cathedral. Out of shot to the right is the former Old Hall, an excellent house of the early 18th century.
