I have visited· I would like to visit

Spiderdrone visited on 22nd Oct 2023 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Located what looks like cross sections within the church, there is also an interesting mausoleum in the grounds with some interesting faces on the side. I can find no details on the cross sections within the church but it's worth a visit even just to see the mausoleum, if indeed that is what is it. There are several parking areas within the local area and a couple of great looking pubs and Post office / coffee shop as well, due to time I didn't make a visit.
