Patricia Payne expertly frames this medieval parish church from a unique perspective - showcasing its magnificent architecture and rich historical significance. From the north-west vantage point, we are treated to a breathtaking view that highlights both the grandeur and intricate details of this sacred place. The imposing stone walls rise majestically against a clear blue sky, while delicate stained glass windows add vibrant hues to the scene. The age-old craftsmanship is evident in every nook and cranny; each archway and pillar telling stories of faith and devotion spanning centuries.
