Description
A compelling account of the 900-year-old history of this magnificent Norman church of St. Mary's, in Whaplode. Lincolnshire. Appreciate the significance of its Saxon beginnings; the majesty of its Norman architectural heritage; the magnificence of its historical monuments and artefacts. Travel down the centuries from the early French families that built the church, and those that subsequently supported it, through the colourful, often turbulent, relationships of the various clergy with successive Catholic Abbots, and the villagers of Whaplode. Sense the despair brought on by the destruction caused to the fabric during the English Reformation, and beyond with years of regrettable neglect, until, finally, even amidst controversy, early 20th century preservation and future restoration projects took hold to ensure a future.
