DAYS OUT/CHURCHES: St Mary The Virgin, Wiggenhall St Mary

Church Lane… very beautiful!

I was in the rather delightfully named Wiggenhall St Mary, down Church Lane. There must be a church here, I surmised. There’s certainly a chapel. I was right by it. Now turned into a domestic residence. But the road, or track, to be more accurate, carried on. So off I went, for a look see…

Hidden away.

And lo, there is a church. Hidden away, accessible only on foot. And, sadly, closed. And in this case, properly closed. For repairs, due to falling masonry. No calling a churchwarden for the key in this instance, alas.

Nature is fecund here.
Tower and porch clearly differ in age.
Nice sun dial.
The graveyard is slowly being reclaimed by nature.

I’m keen to revisit this church, as and when she’s made ready. She’s in the care of the CCT. I hope it’s not too long, afore we can get inside her? She’s in a fabulously pretty and secluded location. Just my cup of tea!
