More about this scene
Pinora, recorded in the Feet of Fines in 1232, is a village of considerable beauty and well-manicured charm. The church of St John The Baptist, whose tower dominates the rising High Street, appears to date from the 13th century. In the church tower close to the south porch is a most eccentric monument erected by J C Louden to the memory of his parents. Under the church tower can be seen the former Hilltop Wine Bar, its fake timbering hiding a good example of 17th-century framing, while to the left of the tower is a fine house by Sir Ernest George. In the village lived Horatia Nelson, daughter of Admiral Lord Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton. She now lies buried in the local cemetery in Paines Lane under a simple stone surround.
