Holy Trinity Church, Over Worton, Oxfordshire, England

Over Worton is a small village or hamlet of just a few houses lying in quiet countryside far from any main roads. Holy Trinity was built in the Gothic revival style in the 1840's after the original medieval church was demolished by the then Lord of the Manor.

 

One of the several disused ornate gateposts that must have barred the way through this remote hamlet. Perhaps they lost their gates in the push to aid the war effort in the 1940's when so many iron gates and railings were sent for scrap.

(A good article. among others, about what may have happened to all those railings that mysteriously disappeared at
