This is the third of the churches I visited while I was at King's Sombourne and is in the nearby village of Houghton. There is not much I can tell you about the church other than the photos I took.
Entrance gate with a mature bush growing beside it greets you
Looking past the gate shows the church better
Small plaque in memory of Elinor Wynne Owen Reece can be seen on the gate
Going inside shows a very light and airy church
Looking down the aisle to the chancel arch
On the left is a carved stone font with wood cover and to the right the chancel
The pulpit has this carving of the Lamb of God on it
The Pulpit on the left with the Altar and stained glass chancel window
A list of the former priests
One of the stained glass windows and a memorial that is in the north aisle
View back down the nave to the to back and the wood frame supporting the tower
On the right is the chapel in the north asile
The churchyard does hold some old heastones
and there does look to be a crypt going under the church
Parts of the churchyard are overgrown
but the rest is well kept
The last grave here seems to be a family grave and the anchor lays over their only son
Have a Peaceful Sunday

That anchor stone is awesome! How unique & unusual.
i love the fences & roofline. ( :
What a beautiful little church. such a shame that some of the churchyard is over grown. Fantastic pictures as always.
Thank you for linking up with Cemetery Sunday.

Just went back and checked out the last few posts Bill, I seem to have missed a few of your church visits. Enjoyed all of them but have to say All Saints Little Sombourne was a little delight, I am drawn to the simpler style, although I do have a 'thing' for arches and the many arches above did make my knees go weak :)
Bill, nice to be back visiting your blog. :)
As always, lovely photos! I like the one of the iron around the window -- kind of mysterious.
Another lovely tour, Bill.
These are beautiful photos. Set out as though one was there. So much history in those walls.
