St Mary's Church, Honeychurch

Peter

A unique ancient stone church, there is no electricity or heating so the congregation use candles including a candle chandelier, and a Tilley lamp for light and a gas heater for warmth. The floor is made of long wooden rough planks, the pews look as though they were made by the local carpenter centuries ago and pretty uncomfortable to sit in for the duration of a sermon. The organ is pumped by foot pedals. The whole place is better seen on a sunny warm day rather than the depths of a grey, cold winter. Certainly memorable. It is charming but needs some TLC, although not too much as it is a unique experience.
