Holy Trinity Church, Bosbury (E View)

Recent Photograph of Holy Trinity Church (E View) (Bosbury)

Showing the detached tower - built about 1230-40 - the lower walls are nearly 6 feet thick, and it appears to have been built as a defence during the time of Welsh incursions - or (the guide leaflet suggests) as a deterrent. Apparently it used to have a spire, which was struck by lightning in 1638, but which somehow nevertheless survived until 1812, when it was replaced with the present pitched roof.
