Centre of Community

We walked out today across country to this village and back.  It's called West Chelborough and this little church looked delightfully compact, nestled as it was in the hilly area of the village.  There are apparently 20 adults living in the village, with no pub or shop, so the church could be deemed the centre of the community.

It seems that the two treble bells in the church (bell pulls in the porch, very tempting . . .) were cast in the church in about 1275, making them the oldest church bells in Dorset.
