More about this scene
Holme is a hamlet on the east bank of the Trent slightly north of Winthorpe. The church was rebuilt in 1485 by John Barton of Calais. It is distinctive in that its porch, with its upper room and flanking round tower, would look more at home on a fortified manor house. It is said that during the Great Plague one of the villagers took refuge inside the church. Eventually, having run out of food, she came out. All were dead except for just one man.
