Great Canfield - St Mary

This church is in a lovely setting, at the heart of a tiny village well off the major roads. The church is Norman, built c.1150, with a fifteenth century bellfry, spire and south porch. The south doorway is Norman and is richly carved with zig-zags, squares and swastikas. The church is Grade I listed. Inside there is a lovely wall painting of the Madonna breast feeding her child, dated c.1250. Sadly the church was locked when we were there.
