Warning: Very occasionally we
run into some rather obnoxious characters when carrying out the photo shoot. At
this location if you venture into the church carrying a camera and bag, it is
most likely that one of the local, highly suspicious and paranoid hierarchy
will descend upon you and demand to know what you are doing there. The
gentleman we encountered was very rude to us and certainly needs to learn some
manners when approaching visitors to his village in the future. Dont let this
rude little man put you off, enjoy this beautiful church & village! If he
does put you off however, go to neighbouring Croscombe where the current vicar
welcomed us into his church and was positively delighted to see us!
