St Mary's Centre - Roof

St Mary's-on-the-Hill, as this church was once known, was created as the Castle church, and originally dates from about 1153. It is seldom open to the public nowadays, but is a fascinating place. It has a beautiful hammer beam roof with gilded bosses, which speculation, though not necessarily fact, says was moved here from Basingwerk Abbey.
