The patronage of this church takes us far back to the beginnings of Christianity in the third/fourth century. Saint HELEN was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" in front of Rome and ended the long period of persecution with the "Edict of Toleration" of Milan). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. She is therefore often depicted in paintings or as a statue with a cross as an attribute. The feast day of Saint Helena in the calendar of saints is August 18th.

These small lakes formed in the working of old sand and gravel pits. Today nature has reclaimed the area, and it's a lovely mix of scrub and woodland, dotted with ponds. The Viking Way long distance trail follows this path on its 149 mile (240 km) journey from the River Humber through Lincolnshire and Leicestershire to Rutland.

This is a tough short climb with 8 & 9% gradients. The Bluestone Heath Road that follows is very comfortable riding.
