All Saints', Wrington Church Crawl to Muchelney |
|
| The final church crawl of the 2000 season was an afternoon trip to Muchelney - to the Benedictine abbey and parish church of SS Peter & Paul close by. |
|
| The extant part of the abbey is the Abbot's quarters, where the English Heritage staff of the shop give a briefing to parties of visitors ..... |
|
| ... with an audience of wicker birds and animals in addition to the human variety |
|

The south covered cloister
|
The nearby parish church may be glimpsed from many of the windows |
| Opposite the church is the National Trust-owned late mediaeval Priest's House, built by the abbey, as was the church, for the villagers |
 |
|
|
The church itself boasts a number of remarkable features, including a rare barrel organ, in perfect working order .... |
|
.... a superb tiled floor originally in the 12C Lady Chapel of the abbey ..... |
..... and a remarkable Tudor ceiling of painted panels of "uninhibited" angels |
