God is not only a theme in theological books; many other authors also repeatedly address him in secular literature. Giovanni Guareschi, with his "invention" of Don Camillo, who converses with the crucified Christ at the high altar, is a very prominent example of this. Even in many crime novels, monks or priests are woven into the plots and naturally bring a spiritual perspective on God and humanity. This is also the case several times in the crime series about the "Healer of Canterbury," published under the pseudonym Celia L. Grace, which the author has set in 15th-century England. In one of these stories, titled "The Poisoners' Feast," Father Clement (the local priest of a village plagued by a series of murders) speaks generally about his parishioners: "May the Lord have mercy on us all. They are good people, they are generous, they attend Mass, they try to live good lives, it's just..." he peered into the darkness. "It's as if things go wrong because they go wrong, Mistress. That's what Augustine said, wasn't it? We want God, we pursue what is good, but we are never in balance with ourselves, not with our neighbors, not with the world, and not with God." (Celia L. Grace, "The Poisoners' Feast") Perhaps a brief rest before this small sacred monument offers those lingering here the opportunity to regain a little more balance with themselves, with their neighbors and the rest of the world, but above all with God—the Lord of heaven and earth.

I said I wanted a room with a view.

Run through majestic woodland made up of fine oak, sweet chestnut and beech.

The church originated in the 12th century and is well worth a visit. It is a redundant Anglican church but still hosts occasional special services. https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/church-listing/st-peter-and-st-paul-preston-deanery.html

Unusually shaped church that seems to have been extended more than once, sitting in well kept grounds that lead directly from the road.

Beautiful old church and small but well kept graveyard and grounds, looked great in the sunshine and I'm sure the stained glass would be very impressive from the inside on a day like today.

Very impressive old building sitting behind ornate iron gates and situated in very well kept gardens containing many very old trees, you can see the building on crossing the river into the village.

Small bridge over the river entering the village gives a lovely view along the shallow river
