Picture
On the main road  not far from Burt Castle is this unusual church. Modelled to recall the form of the Iron Age fort on the hill above, this building is well worth the visit.  Out side it is circular. Inside the same, but the circles are off centre creating space for the sacristy at the end opposite the entrance. The spire is off centre as well imparting a modern Twentieth Century air to the composition. The building and surroundings are filled with specially commission art works.
