St. Lawrence Church, Bradwell Village dates from the 13th century, with additions up to 1992!
The tower has some of the country's oldest bells, from 1310 which ring out Sunday mornings.
The tower shows signs of damage to the roof and lightning conductor appears to no longer be grounded!

Thinking of ‘Cathedral’ …

Have you visited the #TreeCathedral in Milton Keynes ? 🤩

I’ve included it as one of my Great Trees of Britain #GTOB (although it is in fact many hundred trees)

- well worth a visit
