QueningtonSummary The village is quiet and very attractive, with some quite striking Cotswold stone cottages covered in a profusion of flowers. The Church This surrounds an earlier tympanum depicting the Harrowing of Hell, or the descent of Jesus into Hell to defeat evil and release the souls trapped there. This was a common theme in medieval mystery plays and occurs frequently in Norman relief carvings.
Unfortunately, the interior of the church cannot match the glories of the Norman doors; it was restored in the Victorian period, and the result is best described as "well-intentioned." |
