The interior of this small rural church is one of Britain’s most remarkable Victorian artistic treasures.

In the 1980s, the church was deemed structurally unsafe and this exceptionally rare and beautiful interior was almost lost to demolition.

We love the pinky hues and the wonderful trees… what do you think?!
