More about this scene

According to tradition, the church of St Michael and All Angels is said to stand on the site of a 7th-century wooden chapel dedicated to St Chad. Most of the present church dates from the 19th century, although the tower was built in 1640. There is a memorial inside to Admiral George Anson, who is buried here. Note the St George's flag on the tall flagpole.
