More about this scene
This is a beautiful photograph of Rutland at its best. Pollarded willows line the stream, which appears to have trapped the wheels from a large cart. The curving footpath was probably on the original road line from Pilton to Barrowden. The setting of the 14th-century battlemented tower and its crocketed recessed steeple is ideal. Internally, the church has a good late 12th-century north arcade and a later south arcade. The great Gothic Revival architect George Edmund Street (1824-81) restored the building in 1852 and 1861.
