More about this scene

When the Domesday survey was carried out in 1086, Budworth was listed as one of the largest parishes in all England. Since the survey also listed it as having a priest, there would probably have been a wooden church here at that time (the survey only listed stone buildings, wooden buildings were ignored). Today's church of St Mary and All Saints is a stunning building, and dates from the 14th century.
