More about this scene
'Belaugh' means 'the dwelling-place at the water'. The church is in a commanding position 75 yards from the water's edge, which at one time covered all the land at its base, even where the cottages in the picture have been built. The bottom of the church steeple is higher than the roof of the parsonage, just visible in the trees. At one time the churchyard wall decayed, rainwater washed the soil away from the graves, and bones were taken down the hill, even into the water. The lords of the manor, who took their name from the village, came here in the time of Henry II; John, son of Ybri de Belaugh, had a large estate.
