Trentishoe Church, Exmoor - interior view
The small church of St Peter still retains its musicians' gallery; so often they were removed when an organ was installed. In this case the organ came from the RMS Mauritania which explains the picture of a ship behind the organ on the left hand side of my photo. (The 2nd Mauritania, 1938 - 1965). Gr.II* listed, C15th origins with C19th restorations & additional chancel. The church is so remote & the hamlet so tiny that services are only held at major festivals. Maintaining remote buildings such as this is a major burden on small rural populations.
