Description

A note on the reverse of the print states that in around 1921 a large amount of the timbers from the original medieval screen were burnt in the churchyard. The church was originally dedicated to St Mary Magdalene but was rededicated to St Mary the VIrgin from 1763. The photograph was taken by Sidney Pitcher FRPS.
