Fabulous! My father used to do locums there in the early 1970’s…. I remember walking up the lane from the vicarage to the church in the evenings. The Vicar was Rev Wygall and I think his father was a notable painter?? I inherited a painting of it from across the fields
Happy memories!

Top advice….. many thanks!!

Great story…., just shared it with the group (clergy) I am travelling with : much appreciated!!

Enjoy it….. it is the most remarkable place you will ever visit….. don’t miss Torcello though….. it is utterly magical a city of 30,000 (bigger than Venice in its day) now a village of about 70
