      Once I’ve filmed all exteriors I shall concentrate on the interiors. I always try the doors on arrival but most are locked, it is such a shame. There are 63 such churches within 12 miles of me. Thank you for your comment.

    What about the interior?!?!?!?!? It's one of the few Anglican churches worldwide to replicate the arrangement of St. Mary's Church, Leighton Bromswold, Huntingdonshire restored in the 1620s for the poet and priest George Herbert by Nicholas Ferrar, of Little Gidding fame.

      Thank you so much for watching, unfortunately the Church was locked on the day I visited but be assured I will be returning to film the interior so please watch this space. Thank you for the info for which I was totally ignorant, this has now been remedied 😊

      ​@@thebeatentrack156I understand totally. When I was in England in 1983 every rural or village church I attempted to visit was also locked. You do wonderful work and you have a new subscriber due to it. There is a 2016 newspaper article online marking the 200th anniversary of the remodeling and rearrangement of the interior. On page 734 of a book entitled ENGLAND'S THOUSAND BEST CHURCHES by Simon Jenkins (published in 1999) there is an article on this church as well. It states this church is like "walk[ing] into a church of a Jane Austin novel". Thank you for your reply and time and KEEP UP YOUR WONDERFUL WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      ​@@thebeatentrack156If you want a copy of the information from the Jenkins book, I'll copy and send it to you.

      @@josephr.gainey2079 Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot. I went and filmed the interior of St John The Baptist's this morning, it's just down the road from me (and I found it open) so expect it up online in the next couple of days, once I've finished the editing. It's a wonderful interior, I'm sure you'll agree. I do have a copy of the Simon Jenkins book and I'll dig it out later, thank you for your offer. Thank you also for subscribing to the channel, I have many, many more Churches on my list to go and film.
