I found this church from the 13th century, almost 3.5 hours from London, during the research for my last UK tour. I only knew that it was no longer used and had no idea if it would be accessible. I had little hope of that, but at least I wanted to try it.​

After a seemingly endless drive I reached the really tiny village in the rain, which only consisted of one handful of houses. And, contrary to expectations, one of the old doors could be opened.​

Inside, there was a wonderful scene of decay. Parts of the ceiling already had larger holes, and a thick layer of dust and debris covered the inventory. Old books, memorial plaques on the walls, broken heads of statues - it seemed as if this church had been forgotten for a long time. While I looked around and took the first pictures, outside raged a violent thunderstorm, which gave the place a very special atmosphere...​
