Incredible C12th church with a C14th 'angel' roof -- mediaeval carved angels which escaped destruction following the reformation. Absolutely stunning!

The road skirts just above the eastern edge of the Mendham Marshes but it's a bit of a stretch to say it's like Holland - this isn't the Fens or even the Broads. Any view is mostly limited by hedgerows and houses.
