I’m currently writing – or trying to write – a book about old British churches. Who built them, how they built them and why people should go and see them.
This week I finished chapters on three churches: Earls Barton with its amazing tower, and the two churches in Deerhurst, Gloucestershire, St Mary’s and Odda’s Chapel.
The problem I have is that it’s hard to find the words to do them justice.
Odda’s Chapel, Deerhurst, Gloucestershire. Built 1056.
All Saints Church, Earls Barton, Northamptonshire. The tower dates from the late tenth century.
