"This small church, beautifully situated, was built in the 11th/12th centuries. It is no longer required for regular worship (St Nicholas church at Great Hormead is less than half a mile away), and it is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. A priest was recorded here in the Domesday Book, when Hormead (no 'Great' or 'Little') had 550 inhabitants, much the same as now. The church has one remarkable feature, its original 12th century wooden north door with its original decorative metal strap work including a dragon and a bird and rough-headed nails. In 1925 the entrance was blocked and the door preserved inside. It has been cleaned and exhibited several times, the last time being in 1984 in the Haywards Gallery in London in an exhibition of English Romanesque art (1066-1200). The 12th century chancel arch has a coat of arms of Charles I dated 1660 hanging over it, indicating royalist sympathies at the time of the civil war."

PLEASE DO NOT MOVE ANY OF THE STONES AROUND THE FOOTPATH SIGN.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
Whilst you are here, do consider doing the nearby Climate Chaos: The Beginning (GC123J4) which involves a nice walk around the local footpaths.
