Preston Wynne church Preston Wynne church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. Undulations in the field nearby suggests there was once a medieval village here though this church is later. To get to this isolated parish church one has to follow a footpath across a field. The church was consecrated in 1730 and the keystone above the door is inscribe '1727'. The tower is built in a provincial Baroque-style west. Here the church is reflected in partially frozen water, the result of heavy recent rainfall.

Holy Trinity, Preston Wynne Standing alone in the fields, accessible only by footpath, this charming small church was first built in 1727 (consecrated in 1730). Only the west tower escaped the attention of Victorian restorers. Thomas Nicholson gothicised the rest, starting in 1858. Humps and bumps in the surrounding fields suggest a lost village.
