Smooth cut sandstone This wide cutting may have been for the easy removal of the quarried stone down to the road at Grinshill.

All Saint’s Church in the lovely village of Grinshill A well-placed bench in the churchyard provided this view of the church. An interesting tower housing a long pendulum clock, and note the tremendous gargoyles at either end of the roof!
