Stanklyn Wood can be seen on the higher ground to the right of the picture, and the spire of Stone Church (see image in adjacent square) is just visible above the tree-line towards the left.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Located adjacent to St. Mary's Church, this was originally the Church House, and then later a school and parish room. Of various dates, the centre and north wing, date from around 1500. Some of this (nearest the camera) can be seen in this view. Some timber framing is visible at the rear, and can partially be seen in this view. However the east front (also visible here) is early 19th century.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Most Anglican churches are so subdued in colour, although there are exceptions, that it comes as quite a surprise to see this brightly painted door. [[2543326]].
