More about this scene

Records suggest that a church stood on this site in the early 9th century. This present building dates from the 13th century. One of the tombs inside the church commemorates the Caesar family, whose most famous member, Julius Caesar, once held the Great Seal of England. He was born Caesar Aldemar, and Queen Mary allowed the family to adopt the name Julius in perpetuity. A fine carving on the tower appears to depict Josef Stalin, but it is actually the likeness of David Warner, one-time sexton.
