More about this scene
The village, which in parochial terms was originally bracketed together with Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt, which share the mother church of St Wilfred, lies some eight miles to the south of the city. Sited on the southern edge of the village, the small church of 1849 was designed by Henry Woodyer in a 14th-century manner; whilst quite pretty, it cannot be said to be of great architectural moment. In fact, its west end, seen in the photograph, gives the false impression that the grand nave arch has been blocked following the demolition of more elaborate fabric.
