This is a church I came across many years ago, I took a few external photos and some of the churchyard but could get no internals. The other day while driveing past I stopped and had look to see if the door was open. I was in luck it was so I poped in and got a few photos.
The churchyard has changed little since I last visited
St Mary's Church with the path lading to the porch
On the west end wall are some old headstones that have fallen over and become detached from the graves
North side view of the church
The entrance porch
Inside the church is quite simple with pews either side
Near the altar are choir pews on either side
The choir pews on the right hand side of the church
The altar is behind plain wood rails
The altar does have a nice three tiled backdrop mural
Looking back along the nave
A wodden lecturn come pulpit is on the left side while on the rign is a small church organ
At the back you can see this church chest which I think could well be older than the church, behind you can see memorials which look very old as well
Opposite the entrance is the church font which again looks to be older that the present church
Oyside the churchyard looks sparce and most of the graves are over on the south side
Thes are the older ones you can see here
Most are well weathered and getting eroded
Though there are a few interesting ones to be seen
The north side has some newer ones as well as old
This is on the side of the porch
View of the south east side of the church
I'll leave you with a photo of one of the flower vases in the church. Have a peaceful Sunday
