Picture of a path and tree in top NE corner of the grid square. Best picture of the ones I took, as this square is just fields, and landscape shots were pretty hazy due to the clouds and it being quite a dark day.

St Peter's, Littlebury Green

St Peter's was set up as a chapel of ease to save residents the trek to the parish church in Littlebury. It was assembled from a kit which came complete with stained glass windows.
