To build the railway here cretainly was a challenge for the engineers and builders - a lot of tunnels and slopes to overcome. In the end it looks great to see how the railway winds through this landscape.

great little place

A welcoming pub on the outskirts of Manton

Googleによる翻訳•原文を表示

Lots of bike racks. Great food and coffee. Outdoor coffee hut in summer months.

The bit between Manton and the nature/bird watching centre appears to have been re-stoned with a very uncycle-friendly gravel. Too big piece size and not compacted down making it a bit scary for tyres less than 40mm I would say. As walkers and cyclists are only real users, it is unlikely to get better for years.

The garden can get rammed, don't worry, there's another pub a bit further on

The church dates from the 12th century and doesn't have a tower. The 14th-century south porch has a parvise not connected to the body of the church. It also has two scratch dials. There is a double bell-cote on top of the 13th-century west front. The nave is Norman and has a clerestory built in the 14th century. A poorbox dating from 1637 is near the bell-shaped font.

The church was built in classical style for the Normanton Hall estate on the site of a 14th-century building. Except for the tower, the medieval church was rebuilt in 1764 by Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 3rd Baronet. The church was de-consecrated in 1970, and was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows.
