taken 8 years ago, near to Fleet, Dorset, England

Fleet Old Church
Fleet Old Church
Only the chancel remains of this building after the great gale destroyed the rest of it, along with most of the village in November 1824. The building's vaults were once the hiding place for smuggling contraband, as described in J Meade Falkner's book 'Moonfleet'.
