Channel: semw52
Date: 2023-06-06

After an interesting walk thru Dolebury Warren Wood on the North side I emerged at Link Cottage, Burrington and then made my way down to the church of Holy Trinity---a beautiful church with all windows stained glass---quite a find---compared with Suffolk for example where most churches were spoiled  and damaged by the Puritans---colour whitewashed and stained glass smashed.
Somewhere in my Video archives I have my first visit to this church in the days when I use to cycle loads as part of my Somerset Churches Project--first started as a 10 year old and restarted 50 years on in my 60s after  I retired as a nurse and teacher. A basic video with a basic VivItar camera.    As a child I used a Brownie Box Camera and I still have that  very old camera...It is possible that my first visit here is recorded on YT--I will look----I remember well the Wookey graves here in the churchyard because I have a cousin x3 removed who was from Canada but had ancestors from Rowberrow and Shipham---I will research to see if there is any link with the Burrington Wookey  villagers  and will add notes here later if anything is discovered--any links--there are also links with the Wookey family of Compton Bishop near Crooks peak.....Anyway a lovely peaceful church very close to the Rock of Ages in Burrington Combe which I have also abseiled down  about 30 years ago---I pass this area  as shown in Part V to follow...
