A mainly Forest Crawl - 4

ST MARY, ENGLISH BICKNOR, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
An enormous churchyard, and a sizeable church, closed for major restorations - but the door open and I was able to look inside. Nearly all features and furnishings swathed in opaque plastic, lots of plaster stacked, and work very much in hand. Fabulous east arch of the Norman north arcade may be the original chancel arch reset. The present chancel is Victorian and incorporates a former crossing (W, N and S arches only). A revisit will be necessary!
