This is the spoil from the last lead mine in the valley, it closed in the 1960s (I think the guide said)
Highest mountain in W Virginia (which I had to fly over): 5000'. Ceiling: 5500'. Slot: 500 whopping feet.
Highest point...fantastic view albeit a rainly cloudy day for us...fine day view would have been much more impressive! The tulips made up for it :o)
The highest church in the Cotswolds at a 1000 feet above sea level St. John's stands high above the village of Elkstone. A very noteworthy Norman church, originally built c1160 the tower was rebuilt in the C13 and replaced in the C15. A spectacular billeted corbel table survives on the north side elaborately carved with a whole bestiary of mythic beasts. The south porch is C14 and protects a rare tympanum depicting Christ in Majesty surrounded by beakhead carvings. The Perpendicular tower is embellished with gargoyles and two figures playing musical instruments. The sanctuary has a quadripartite Norman vault which meet in a boss formed of four masks. The west arch of the sanctuary has dragon's-head stops. Octagonal C15 font and early C17 pulpit. East window has stained glass Madonna by Henry Payne 1929, chancel south and the west window by W.T. Carter Shapland 1959, nave south east window by Heaton, Butler and Baynes, 1895. Two coffin lids under the tower one with a C13 wheel cross the other may be Saxon. The church is famous for its columbarium or dovecote reached by a steep spiral staircase from the sanctuary, South-east of the church is a priest's house c1500.
