A quintessential English village greets me on my re-visit after several years--thatched roof cottages, small quaint streets and cottages, the village shop and post office and the beautiful church of St George scores many points indeed The simple stone altar is beautiful once buried in the churchyard during the Reformation and found in the 1950s.Skilfully carved pews by a local man from the 16th century Simon Werman--so many features of architecture, art and craftsmanship  to be seen--also one of the oldest yews in the country at least 1000 years old--so  many pluses  for this  lovely church--the stain-glass, the memorials and the public facilities as well with access to a water tap  to fill the bottles of many walkers who  stop here to rest---a welcoming feeling  is felt  and the church well cared for and loved ...Well worth  a 2nd visit...
