External toilet block, St Peter's, Wootton Wawen, based on flying buttress design
Any church which has been around in one form or another for 1300 years is likely to have undergone many changes, inside and out. I was expecting the kind of list of vicars you get in churches dating from the Norman conquest - the de's etc, which lasted for 350 years, and I had puzzled over the architecture of the outside loos on a previous visit. On this walkaround it occurs to me that the exoskeleton of the wooden building is based (maybe) on the flying buttresses you can see at many churches.
What came as a surprise was a notice on the table in the church banning the use of drones on church lands!
When I go again I shall look for the 'Coventry Piece' in the graveyard which Wikipedia says contains the bodies of Black Death victims from Coventry, and is still 'not to be disturbed'. Wikipedia also says a citation is needed for this piece of information so it may may eventually prove apocryphal, I guess.
