Eastwards over Severn to Arlingham - Newnham on Severn, Gloucestershire

On the track from Aram's to Tanhouse Farm at Newnham on Severn, looking eastwards across the River Severn to the Arlingham peninsula. Memory fails me as to whether this was Gloucester Ramblers or Stroud Rambling Club but no matter. The villages of Arlingham and Fretherne lie on this expanse of flat land enclosed by a loop of the River Severn as it makes its way from Plynlimon to the Bristol Channel.

St Peter's Church Newnham

A parish church was established in Newnham in the 14th century (although there had been a chapel of ease since 1018), and in 1366 a new church building was built on the high ground of the village as the old one faced erosion from the river. The new building has itself been damaged by a gunpowder explosion in 1644 during the English Civil War and a fire in 1881.
