St Michael and all Angels Church, Cheriton by quietpurplehaze

St Michael and all Angels Church, Cheriton

This is the church featured in my other posts today, built in the 13th century and now a Grade 1 listed building.

Cheriton is a beautiful village in Hampshire with a village green which has a stream with ducks.

Nearby is the rustic Flowerpots Inn which has its own brewery in situ.

I can feel another visit coming on.
Absolutely fabulous architecture. I thought it was old, but now I see this I realize just how old it is. So good that it is still standing.

Yes, but quite large inside and I think the devout section of the population of Cheriton would not make a full congregation. See the interior here http://www.upperitchen.org/09/cheriton/
