A trip to Edvin Loach Old Church in Herefordshire with Mary

The weather forecast showed us the only place  it wasn't raining today in the Midlands was Herefordshire, so that's where we went- and it was raining but only a little bit! We took a trip out to Edvin Loach Old Church. The English Heritage website says "The curious name of this place originates in the late 11th century, when the district of Yedeven was divided between the Loges and Ralph families, hence the present names of the parishes of Edvin Loach and Edvin Ralph."
It's free entry and dogs are welcome. 

Mary was keen to get inside the gate but wasn't too keen on the nearby gunshots which spooked her, but she soon got used to it.




"The herringbone-pattern stonework on the north and south walls is a feature of early Norman churches in this part of England, as is the style of the simple south doorway."



At the gate, an information sheet told us you can usually see for miles, but the weather interfered with that.

Does my butt look big in this?
