The Court House - The building in the middle of the picture is the old courthouse, Abbots Lodge is on the left, Church Lane in between, The Walled Garden is on the right, and the church is behind me. Image Date: 12/08/2009
The Spire of The Parish Church of St Michael & All Angels - The spire and bell tower is separate from the church, the reason for this is the bells in the tower are very heavy, if any of the timbers inside rot or are victim to woodworm the falling bells would only cause damage to the bell tower - and not the church, this would be safer for worshipers, and also cheaper and easier to repair.
