Kettlewell - St. Mary's Church


The church built in 1885 was one of a series - the first church on this site originated in 1120.



What I have always found unusual here are the types of gravestones - normal slabs cut by a mason but also lumps of rock cut out of the hillside and a plaque attached . Cheapness perhaps or a fashion statement / local custom ?? Anyone know ??



It is certainly a peaceful setting.



Very pretty area ...
