St Peter's Church, Bucknell
This exterior shot from the north west shows the 12th century central tower with a large rounded stair turret in the NW angle. The rest was rebuilt in the 13th century in an uncommonly handsome and ornate style. Very large buttresses support the alarmingly-leaning chancel north wall. From inside came the sound of organ music... yet today it seems the chancel is all the church this village needs and the crossing is enclosed by a rather tasteless but practical glazed screen with doors.
