Church of St Mary Magdalene, Withiel Florey

Tiny church with a lot of love and history behind it. The sticking door adds to the charm of entering: we thought it was locked at first but it was merely warped wood. The place is light and clean, no musty smell, flowers on the altar. Nice stained glass, and a plaque detailing the arguments the locals had with the Church to keep this little place open. Music by harmonium, and the old 1865 huge Bible add to the character of the place, as do the two medium sized boilers either end of the nave to keep the place warm in winter. Graves dating back to the 1700s are in the largely empty churchyard, and the place is surrounded by sheep and buzzards.
