St Nicholas, Worth

According to Wikipedia, St Nicholas, Worth is the 4th oldest church in the country- though  how they can be sure when the dating is so imprecise. I really don't know. The spire is Victorian, the roof is 20th century, windows have been inserted, but apart from that the structure is essentially as the Saxons built it- round about a thousand years ago.

Some of those windows look Gothic but the smaller ones look Romanesque

It looks pretty sturdy!

It would have been a very dark little building if they'd hadn't put in some larger windows. The originals are tiny.
