More about this scene

Even at this time the old church dedicated to St Werburgh saw only weekday services and funerals. An ancient timber-frame building comprising a chancel, nave of four bays, aisles, south transept, and an east tower with just one bell, it had been repaired with stone during the 17th century. In 1885 R E Egerton-Warburton paid for a new church to be built.
