+1 on that. An extremely important and pretty much unique church, referred to as, "perhaps the most imposing architectural memorial of the 7th century yet surviving north of the Alps"

That’s a coincidence

I’ve been looking to visit this one once I can gain access

My Grandad was evacuated to old in the Second World War, he passed away recently and one of the little facts about his childhood was that he used to pump the organ (by hand in those days apparently) and left a mark on the base or frame. I want to visit to have a look to see if could find it

Now there's a good reason to visit if ever there was @uphillstruggler

 

[Willd]

St Leonards at Misterton, one of the few locally with a spire, rather than a tower.

St Mary at Cotesbach, a right mish-mash with bricks, faced stone, cobbles and rough stone

I’ll find out when the church is open then make plans
