Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wild Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) is also known as the 'Lent lily' or 'Easter lily' since it often blooms and fades within the Lenten period. The wild Daffodil is smaller than horticultural varieties, with paler petals and a deep yellow trumpet-like tube. The leaves are grey-green, thin, long and flattened. It grows in groups so can be quite an impressive sight. This native Daffodil is found in damp woods, fields, grassland and orchards. It is a rare plant but can be abundant in some areas.

The base of the small tower was built around 1540 but the top section is early 17th century. The church was extensively rebuilt c. 1875 by Paull and Bickerdike.
