More about this scene

Situated at what is now the southern end of this expanded village, the church with its elegant recessed spire dates for the greater part from the earlier 15th century. An oddity is the large external projection which houses the rood loft staircase; evidence suggests that the fabric of the chancel may predate the body of the church. God's breath will not be allowed to ripple the grassy sepulchral mounds of generations of villagers in this chaste churchyard.

At 3 p.m. on Saturday 10th July 1965 I married Tony. Our marriage was conducted by Thomas Stanley Archer (Curator) of St Michael's Church. At the time I was living in The Cottages, Littlethorpe (now demolished) but had previously lived on Narborough Road, Cosby. Tony and I have a daughter and a son. We celebrate our 45th wedding aniversary this year - 2010.
