Path down to the deserted village

The ruins of St Martin’s Church. Also some outlines of medieval buildings. A bit dark, sorry.

Only the church is remaining; it has however seen many stages of renovation over hundreds of years.

This farm cottage is a more recent addition. Built in the 1700s.

This cottage is of course uninhabited. Round the back there are more examples of excavated medieval buildings.
