This is Ayot St Lawrence New Church, built by a local landowner to replace the 'old' church which he'd had demolished as it obstructed the view from his home. It was supposed to resemble a temple to Apollo.

A little bit strange place.

Interesting rather than spectacular - looks like doric columns were originally fluted but have been rendered at some point. Restoration in hand at present.
