Uploader's Comments

The west wall of the south aisle is built of coursed rubble stone: the crenellations, like the casing of the tower, being contructed of larger, squared, blocks. The introduction of canals, and then railways in the nineteenth century, made the bulk transport of stone easy. The use of larger stone blocks, square cut by steam powered saws, transformed the appearance of many English village churches. (Photo Aug 2010).
