Geograph - photograph every grid square

Picked out in mown grass, the outline can be seen of where the erstwhile church of St.James the Apostle once stood in its churchyard in Akeley. A church had existed in Akeley since at least 1164, but this was replaced by a new building in 1854 - there is a plan of this later church here - Link
This new church was obviously not as well constructed as the old one however as it required demolishing in 1979 due to the parlous state of its stonework. The church had rectors dating back to 1234 see Link
Here is a link to a photograph of the 1854 church taken c. 1960
