saint nicholas' church at little langford ... at last !

for years i've been intrigued by glimpses of this isolated little gem whenever i took the train from salisbury up the wylye valley towards bath

today i deviated from my intended course by many miles and was rewarded

sadly the church was locked today

it doesn't look ever so old from the train when you are two hundred yards away at sixty miles an hour, but it has been much restored

it is only when you find your way down a rough old lane and walk around to the west side of the church that you find an ancient doorway with it's heavily weathered "animated" carvings

when i can find out how old it is, i'll let you know ... unless you can tell me first !
