St. John The Baptist Church in the village of Low Bentham in the Lune Valley, proved to be a delight to visit. It had a nice, welcoming atmosphere. |
A Church on this site was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. |
The heavy, wooden, entrance doors. |
A view from the altar end of the Church. |
The organ pipes. |
One of the banners hanging in the Church. |
A prayer cushion referring to the local school. |
The Church tower. |
This very unusual headstone marks the resting place of a former grave digger. |
The grave digger was Robert Poole (1842-1906). |
It's a really grand church for a village. Possibly suggests that this village was much larger at one time?
