I love learning about medieval architecture and history -- most especially buildings of this kind. As it happened BBC 4 last night had a program about the building of cathedrals which I couldn't get enough of! So now I have another intriguing building to add to my must see list!

Many of the rivers we crossed were still very swollen or flooded.

We have read such awful reports of extreme weather conditions throughout the UK which seem to have gone on for ever. So, to have even a ray of sunshine was a miracle!<br /><br />The church is most interesting and, as we have never visited, we have very much enjoyed our virtual tour. It is always intriguing, we find, to discover the history of the families responsible for the foundation of these churches and the Wadhams were clearly no exception. It is also most heartening to see the church in such good repair.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
