Grass Carpet Church.
Something a bit different i'd like to share on here, i'm back out looking for redundant and ruined churches and here is the first one i've come across so far. This is from the 14th century at it's earliest, with additions following the next century. The church became derelict because the next parish along became united in 1756 so then St John's became derelict and ended up loosing it's roof. The church was restored in the 1980's with the help of the Churches Conservation Trust who look after it to this day. The Bell tower is still intact.
The pictures aren't great, but I felt it was worth posting.
