“The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”

Snow No4.
Snowing today No3.
Snowing today No2.
Snowing today.
Obscured path.
Beginning to freeze.
A summer rose.
Who let the dogs out ?

There was a church recorded on the site at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, but was probably in a very neglected state.
This Norman church has almost certainly been here since the beginning of the 12th century: the church taking its present structural form around 1170-1200. Then between 1878 and 1880, extensive restoration was carried out.
The parish register includes baptism registers 1556-1980; marriage registers 1556-1993; burial registers 1556-1955.

Deserted.
Supertramp – Fool’s Overture.
The path.
Changing weather.
Left over wine.
It’s beginning to feel like 2020 is waking after a good party, only to find everyone has gone.
