Day 2: Lifton, St Mary's Church - Quinequennial Inspection

Pevsner's Guide lists this church as building located in an 'small and otherwise unremarkable village'. Paul and I travelled across Devon to the Cornish border, in the Mini stocked with the regular thermos of coffee and toast arriving at 10am uncertain of what we might find on arrival.

Straight up onto the roofs. The roofers were on site for us clearing the gutters, Jim and Tom were just finishing so we were guided as to the best places to gain access tot he roofs.

Up the tower we went, looking into the bell chamber and the ringing room on the way.
