Tour of St Michael the Archangel Church, Warfield
For those interested in Berkshire's rich history
Join Rob Entwistle for a tour of the inside and outside of this amazingly interesting church that charts its origins back to 1016 AD when Queen Emma granted permission for an old Saxon chapel to be built. The present North Aisle is the oldest part of the present church, probably built in the 12th century. It still retains the old 'Devil's Door', kept open during christenings to let out the banished evil spirits. The tower is 13th century and the nave, including the roof, is 14th century. The small angelus tower at the south-east corner is highly unusual. Tour will last at least 60 minutes, and may be up to 90 minutes.
Pre-booking is required as numbers are limited. Bookings close three days before the event. The tour meeting point will be notified a few days beforehand.
10.30 - 11.30am
