Open. An utter delight, a tiny little church set in a peaceful churchyard. There is no tower, and the cross is hard to spot on an OS map. I bet not many people find it except by accident. The interior feels like a CCT church, clean and uncluttered, although it is not redundant. I suspect it is a retired vicar's hobby church. If you stand on the chancel steps looking back, you get a glorious view through the clear glass of the wide west window of rolling barley fields. Wonderful.

Simon Knott, August 2013
