Dist:0.9km<br/>The font - a very early piece and tempting to think that as the church is on the site of a Roman town it could be a re-used column.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Lovely and clearly much loved small Norman church away from everything except Court Farm and the humps and bumps of the remains of Magnis, the Roman town.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Close up of the church showing a bit of its history - some of the stone on the left is from the Roman town nearby. On the right is a more modern extension, but the quality local stone ran out so they had to cart in some lesser quality stone infill.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Tricky to avoid the skip, rubble and scaffolding as this pretty church undergoes some building work to re-build its tower. Parts of the church apparently date from 1125 when stone from the local Roman town was plundered for its walls.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Bishopstone church is dedicated to St Lawrence and dates back to Norman times. In common with many small Herefordshire church it is located in a small settlement with just a few houses and a farm nearby.
