Pic Scam - Launcells

As I said, Mum and dad are visiting and this afternoon, we went to see the "Least spoilt Church in Cornwall" - according to Sir John Betjman - Launcells.  It is on the outskirts of Bude - and only has the vicarage within 2 miles of it, as the original village was wiped out by The Black Death.

As you can see - even Jiffy had a wander around the outside -














A Medieval wall painting -



The basic age of the chancellery is 1324 -




A Norman font -



Floor tiles in fron of the alter -



The crest of King Charles, as Bude supported the Royalists during the Civil War -






And this tomb is dated 1624 - and is stunning in an otherwise plainish Church -
