  • A Walk Around the Boddingtons
    A Walk around the Boddingtons This walk is based on the numbers shown on the maps, the maps and the walk can be downloaded and printed in pdf form. Thanks must go to Helen Fairfield who did some of the maps and Charmain Worrall and Terry Stokes for the sketches. The walk starts at the Church in Upper Boddington. Dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, this medieval church shows examples of three styles of architecture. The tower contains five bells and a sermon bell. Interesting external features include the corbel course with much- weathered carvings below the lower gutter, and a faint sundial above the porch, the walls of which are supported by a curious pair of braces. Can you find the outline of an old window (more clearly seen from inside the Church) and a three-sided sundial on a tombstone? Inside the church you should look at the great treasure - the iron-bound chest carved out of a single tree trunk, inside which there are two compartments. Also see the two tomb recesses dating from 1300, and a stained glass window erected as a parents’ thanksgiving - does anyone know more about it? Looking about, you will be aware of the lack of vertical lines in the windows and columns, and you will have noted a gap in the top of the nave walls behind the fretwork - presumably the roof is supported on the inner walls only. Leave the Church and walk down the path, looking back at the Old Rectory (1) which was rebuilt in the late 1600s, although the top storey was not added for another 200 years.
