St Michael and All Angels Church, Taddington
Taddington Church , dedicated to St Michael and All Angels is located in one of the highest villages in England. Most of St Michaels is Medieval having been built in the 13th century, probably on the site of an earlier church. Although records don't prove this , there are remains in the churchyard that point to earlier celtic religion, and Norman stonework.
For those of you who know the area well , you won't be surprised to see the two most popular building materials used. Limestone for the older and main body of the church , and gritstone for the steeple.
The bunting in the photo is to attract attention to the Flower Festival Week , and the associated Well Dressings ( just two wells in Taddy ) etc. (Beer festival at the end of the month , but I don't think the church is involved !π)
