More about this scene
Inside this delightful old church is a fascinating model of HMS 'Hood', which sank in 1941 with only three survivors. Visitors might wonder at first glance what the connection is between this church and the fateful warship. In fact, Vice- Admiral Holland, whose flagship it was, was a regular worshipper here. The church enjoys another noted link with the past. William Gilpin became vicar here in 1777, and later wrote several books on natural history.
