Can't help but wonder how the soil is affected when tractors are driven on land as wet as this?

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.
