Hi all,
I`ve just got back from taking pictures of St Nicholas` Church, Loxley, Warwickshire - as part of my family came from that village - and I came across this `trench`, which ran along outside of the main body of the church, and appeared to go underground. The drop was about, 4-foot, but I could`nt see where it came from/went to. The only thing I could think of, was that it was some kind of `escape` exit, but it seemed a bit too obvious really for that. Any idea`s?. It`s a lovely old, old church, and if it could talk, it would have some stories to tell I bet!
There is also a small childs grave I think, just outside the main doors, which has two `headstones`, one at either end of the grave. Between these are metal bars rather like a cage, (I thought they were boot scrapes!!), I was told once that these bars were to stop grave robbers - I don`t know if this is true, but I can believe it.
Cheers, cresser.
