For me my favourite churches are those that I think will be not much but end up bringing a lump to my throat. This is one of those churches. I have passed it many a time and knew it had quite an old tower but that is all I knew about it. One day I was able to stop and I am glad I did. Walking through the metal arch gate you are immediately confronted with a tree lined path. Very pretty. Some old table top tombs are on your right. The chancel end is historic but nothing special from the outside. Then you see the centre of the church. A huge octagonal brick nave which looks like its smashed up through the church splitting the tower and the chancel. My heart sank. Why was that built? It looks awful in comparison to the rest of the church.

Luckily the church was open. Entrance through the 16th Century tower. Two funeral hatchments are on ether side. You pass the rather nice font with a beautiful font cover before you enter that hexagonal nave. Built around 1890 and once inside you can see why it was built. The whole nave is filled with light and space. From the outside the nave makes no sense, but from the inside, it makes perfect sense.

The chancel looks dark and foreboding in comparison but here there are more surprises. Two magnificent memorials to round off this interesting church. If you are in the area you must visit this church.
