Lovely church.

Very interesting old church. I hadn’t realised it’s connection with the Duke of Wellington, and was fascinated to see the regimental colours from Waterloo hung up in the church. Well worth a visit.

Friendly volunteers, beautiful church - worth a quick visit

Popped in here one sunny Sunday. Helpful volunteers, useful loo, lovely church to look at, choir was rehearsing for Evensong which was nice. Didn't take hours, but worth a look. Prices in gift shop are reasonable, got a few bargains.

If you're into churches this would probably be an hour to 90minutes. The person who welcomed us could not have done a better job. There was a service taking place in the side chapel which we could have joined, but we were told that we...More
