More about this scene
The village of Hampstead Norris nestles in a shallow valley, the buildings dominated by the short broad tower of St Mary's church in the background. For such a small village, St Mary's is quite a large church. It is overshadowed by its wide tower which has a flatly projecting staircase; it is of early construction, despite the Perpendicular doorway, window, and arch to the nave and battlements. Perhaps the south-west quoin of the nave is Saxon, and the south doorway is certainly reminiscent of the 1200s, as is the north doorway.
