Bourton-on-the-Hill

11 August 2013

 

On the way back from a visit to Batsford Arboretum near Moreton-in-Marsh, we decided to look at the church of St Lawrence in Bourton-on-the-Hill, through which we drive regularly, but in which we had never stopped before.

 

 

From where we parked, the church was approached through a narrow gate up a few steep steps

 

 

The path emerges into the graveyard.  Roger and Helen stop to view the church.  The church dates from Norman times, and original pillars in the south part of the nave survive.  Most of the present building is of later date and the exterior is predominantly Perpendicular
