Standlake holiday

Seven days looking after Brian. Lovely garden.

St Giles Church a Grade II* listed Church based on late Norman foundations (c1180), it was largely rebuilt in the 13th century. During the 14th century, the chancel and transepts were remodelled and the aisles and unusual octagonal tower and spire added. The clerestory was built in the15th century to add light. St Giles fell into disrepair during the 17th & 18th centuries. A major restoration was begun in 1876, returning the building to its Early English architectural style as far as possible. The carved oak pews and chancel roof of this restoration are wonderful.Baca lagi
