Ibstock, St Denys' Church c.1965

More about this scene
The setting appears to be perfect: St Denys' is situated at the western end of a fine avenue of trees, close to its attractive 18th-century rectory. However, through the trees on the extreme left is the disruptive A447 Hinckley Road, with all its associated bustle and noise. The church is mainly of the 14th century, apart from the 15th- century clerestory and late 19th- century vestry. Extensive restoration works were carried out by Goddard and Paget (see St Andrews, Countesthorpe) between 1884 and 1900. Archbishop William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury 1633-45, and supporter of King Charles I, was rector here for nine years.
