St Nicholas, Worth

[poliphilo]

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.

That is impressive.

Though why the Victorians thought they had to add a spire to it...

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

It looks pretty sturdy!

It seems to have a larger variety of different-coloured stones than usual. Or is that just because it's not covered with soot or something like more urban stone structures?
