St Eata's

Reviewed By Uncle_Pulesden - Hong Kong, China

This is a fascinating, tiny, 12th Century (in parts) church, with a beautiful setting by the River Seven and the stone Atcham Bridge. If I may quote the well-drafted guide (by the north door), "Pick 'em and patch 'em say the six bells of Atcham" - Bells have been rung here since the 16th Century. Worth a look, as are so many details in this lovely place.
