Holy Trinity, Blatherwycke

Blatherwycke village is just a few houses, and the church is now looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust. In days long gone the whole place was bigger and there was a second church, St Mary Magdalene, just a short way away. This was closed in 1448. Parts of Holy Trinity date back to the late 11th Century. The Westren tower was re-built in the 17th Century. The chancel is mid 14th Century. Some Victorian restoration was done here, with the whole church being re-roofed and much of the stained glass being installed.   The font here is 12th century, but Victorians have been at work here as well as the font stands on an early Victorian base.   This is a gem, and should be visited if you are in the area. I believe that the church was oepn all over Easter and is open at weekends in the Summer.
