    My wife and I so often visited this dear little church, walking up through fields .... golden cornfields in late summertime.
    We had a static caravan on the cliffs at nearby Seaford for dozens of years. Now in our 80s, such activities are past since 2017. So good to see this snippet reminder of so many happy times and memories. One that has stayed in our minds is seeing half a dozen red admiral butterflies, wings wide open, sunning themselves on the hedge next to the footpsth beside the corn. Wonderful.
    And the cream teas after our walks at the nearby tearooms!

    I am in Texas, USA. A storm system is making its way across the country. The storm will pass me by, but it's cold with a bitter strong wind.
    I stumbled across your video and it took me away from the sound of the howling wind in my attic. I had the good fortune to study religious architecture and seeing something like this is like finding a little jewel. Thank you so much for bringing it to light.

      My friend and I tried to find this last year. We will try again next, but the nearby Church more than made up for our disappointment with gorgeous stain glass windows, which were replaced due to a fire years before.

    Thank you for taking the time and effort to film this for us. I'm not struck on background music but I didn't think it was too loud. Pretty fed up of the keyboard warrior trend nowadays. People who are rude only show themselves up. Keep going and well done for not rising to them x You do you, others on the internet film in different ways. Whether it's better or not is simply opinion not fact ❤

      If you will forgive a gentle correction, this is a consecrated Christian Church set aside for Sacrament and Word. A worship space could be a student bedroom or indeed a garden.

    Don't let ivy grow over it! I saw some growing up one of the walls towards the end of the clip.
    Ivy is a very aggressive and destructive plant, and will actually grow through the stonework and split it apart. Its roots will also undermine the foundations and cause damage there too.
    A lot of people think that ivy looks cute or quaint when it grows up a building, but trust me, I have seen the damage it causes; please get rid of it ASAP!

    The “smallest church” is much debated. Some would not count this one because it is only part of the original church, but others would consider that fact irrelevant!

    Llanilltern 5th Century Glamorgan, St Non ( St David's) 5th Century, early Christian are in abundance in Wales and are small, because they are so old, St Cynwen ( Mynydd Baiden ) Glamorgan is dated from the early 3rd Century, destroyed by the Normans in the early 12th Century, because of its 7th Century effigy to Brenin Arthyr yr Brenin Meurig. The Church of St Maldwyn ( Malo) at Bryntirion was half the size of that Church, 2nd Century, destroyed by the Forces of King Charles in the Civil War because of its Puritan base. There are dozens more if you are allowed to look.

    Lordy lordy, poor choice of words yes 16 feet squared is 256 sq.ft., which is roughly 25sq.m.
    But you call it meters "square" as opposed to "squared" makes one think it is 16sq.ft. or 5sq.m. You could have chosen terms clearer.
