St. Andrew’s, Stoke Dry

Window on a very steep run of stairs to the parvis, a chamber above the north porch of St.Andrews church, Stoke Dry, Leicestershire. Persistent local legend - unproven we might add - says that the Gunpowder plotters met here to plan their attempt on the life of James I.

Well worth a visit, and the tiny local village keeps it open to the public! I’m so grateful that people take the time and trouble to do this.Spiritual rewards must accrue.

There are good photos of the many treasures of this remarkable church on the Internet…but this is my own sideways glimpse, while on my knees, in fear of falling, on the stairs. You won’t find this on the Internet anywhere but here!
