Lyndhurst Parish Church - the current church of St. Michael and All Angels
I sort of stumbled on this today and took a fair few photographs. This is the one I have chosen to share with you today.
Situated at the top of the High Street, Lyndhurst Parish Church is dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels.
For a village of modest size, it’s an incredibly imposing, Gothic, primarily red-brick structure with towering 160 feet high spire that can be seen for miles around.
Constructed between 1858-69, the Parish Church was designed by William White, and is well-known for its fresco by Lord Frederick Leighton showing the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, with biblical characters said to be modelled on local people.
Always good to have a bit of background and history as well
