The interior of this small rural church is one of Britain’s most remarkable Victorian artistic treasures.
In the 1980s, the church was deemed structurally unsafe and this exceptionally rare and beautiful interior was almost lost to demolition.

We’re saddened to hear of the passing of the great Tom Karen, and extend our thoughts to his friends and family.
