St. John the Baptist, Chelmorton, Derbyshire

Supposedly one of the highest churches in Britain (in the geographical not the ecclesiastical sense)

Did you get to see the interior of this one? I found limited pictures online. Lovely photo.

How enticing. It looks perfectly frozen in time.

Thanks.

I did. Rural churches are rarely locked. The most interesting feature is the porch, which has been built out of medieval grave slabs.

Beautiful setting- right out among the hills of the Peak District

Yes. :)

I like this church. Thanks so much for sharing.

Although what time, I'm not sure, that spire looks suspect. Surely not 13th century. Victorian add-on?

Apparently the spire is 15th century.

Derbyshire is a county of spires.
