I was hoping that others might post some more images but here are a few more of the interior of a very simple rustic English Church. It is very old and serves a very small community and has been a Christian church since 985 and therefore pre-dates Winchester Cathedral, it's mother Church. As often happens in England, a previous Pagan church was on the same site and in fact the very well worn threshold stone is now used at the entrance to the bell tower which was built much later in the 13th century.
A few other interesting facts: The rural area outside the church was used as a rallying point before several battles over the ages ie Agincourt in Medieval times when the bowmen (archers) were recruited from the local New Forest area and also again in the second world war in 1944 when Allied troops (mainly Canadians but with some South Africans and Americans billeted locally rallied to receive there leaders pep talks before embarkation to fight in Europe. This was an act that was repeated in many towns and villages throughout the UK.
So nothing changes very much sometimes in history.
The most interesting fact for Get DPI members, is that fellow member MATIX has also visited this church with myself and found some interesting facts of personal interest!
