St Peter's church, Linchmere.

Today I met with two work friends and we went for a walk around the Linchmere area. The countryside was beautiful and we came across the fascinating church in Linchmere. Parts of it are from the 12th century. One thing that particularly caught my eye was this splendid model of a ship suspended from the ceiling. I've no idea what the significance of it is but was certainly eye-catching! I've included a few extras of the church too.
