view of church exterior - southwest view

Scene Description: Photo caption: "As a place of worship, St Peter’s dates back at least to Norman times, with some evidence of a Saxon precursor. The earlier church was in a poor state of repair by 1861. The church was almost completely rebuilt in 1864/65 and was consecrated in 1866."

view of church exterior - well

Scene Description: known as St. Helen's Well -- Photo caption: "This is not really a well - it's a rising for waters which fall on the surrounding limestone hills. There is a direct dye-traced link with the water found in the far reaches of Pate Hole, a cave 1.5km to the south. Only in very wet weather does water flow out of Pate Hole and down the usually dry valley which leads to this well. It is rumoured never to have run dry."
