For one extraordinary moment I thought I had been here before - the approach and the setting are so reminiscent of Great Easton, ten miles or so to the south-west. There are several keys, including one at the shop directly opposite (closes 12.30 on saturday, so I still had time). It is a delightful church inside, I liked it very much, a real feel of the rustic 19th Century, and the weepiest weeping chancel I think I have ever seen! There's medieval glass in the aisle, and a most extraordinary monument, featuring a beehive and a sheep.

Simon Knott, January 2013
