Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'6th February, Sunday. We paid a visit to the church. As usual, it being a familiar object to me, I have taken little notice of it, and never been inside it. It is of course a very old foundation, but the present fabric is quite modern. Considering its appearance of size from the outside, mainly due I think to the very tall, square tower, it is a remarkably small church. Extremely simple, in fact quite plain, apart from some carved woodwork. The one feature which we found noteworthy was the two rolls of honour, commemorative of those who fell in the great war. The one, an ornate brass reserved for commissioned officers, the other of plain wood badly carved with the names of privates and non-coms. Oh, the Lessons of the Great War!'
