More about this scene

This view features the church of St Mary the Virgin. It is unusual in that it is an L-plan building incorporating the Abbey chancel, crossing and north transept with its 13th-century tower and 14th-century belfry. Also featured is the bridge over the Derwent by which visitors from the south enter the village. Those coming from the north pass under the Abbey's embattled 15th-century gatehouse.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I spent many happy days at Baybridge (from the 1960s) at my great-grandmother's (Maughan) house (the house on the right of the picture), and went on to work part-time at the Lord Crewe Arms.
