Asfordby, All Saints' Church And The Rectory c.1955

More about this scene
This wonderful photograph could be used to illustrate any romantic 19th-century novel. At the end of Church Lane to the west of All Saints' Church the base of a medieval cross survives with its new shaft and head of the 1920s. Inside the church, remnants of a carved Saxon cross depicting a dragon and a priest are built into the south aisle. The building is impressive: tower and crocketed spire is 15th-century, while the body is of the 14th century. Some reused Norman stones survive in what appears to be a small Easter Sepulchre. The red brick rectory dates from about 1810.
