St Giles' church, Wyddial (aka Wyddial parish church). It's dated from at least before 1575 (I couldn't find exactly). Description here (first one), outside pic here, service times (since I know you want to go) here.
Some of those old Englishe Churches have amazing woodwork in them. I have tucked away somewhere some photos we took in Widdicombe (on Dartmoor) a few years back...
The guys carving them must have done nothing else for months, if not years. It makes you wonder how much we as a society have lost in being so wedded to the earning and spending of mere money...
just fyi for you and respondees to what I believe is called a 'blog': less than 10% of the UK is built on, hence the incredible volume of amazing countryside.
Hope you've been getting into beans and other pulses.
and here are some more pics of inside:
and the glorious woodwork:

Everyone has to eat. That never changes... or at least, not yet (but that's a whole OTHER story *grin*)
It IS incredible stuff though, I do agree.
