Heptonstall Old Church
On Saturday I blipped the 'new' church and, as I was in Heptonstall again, I thought I would blip the 'old' church.
These are the ruins of the Church of St Thomas a' Becket built between 1256 and 1260. Following a great storm in 1847 the west face of the tower fell away. Some measure of repair took place and the church remained in use up to 1854 when the 'new' church opened.
