In need of a break on the drive back from Avebury, we stopped at Sherston, another pretty little Cotswold village. So the guidebook said.

| Church of the Holy Cross |
 |
| Interesting figures on the porch |
 |
| Alas, the ceiling was falling in... |
 |
| One of our shorter church visits |
 |
But we did learn this one thing...when the Protestants came to visit a town, such as Sherston, among other mischief, they'd cut a hole in fonts such as this, so they would never hold Holy Water again |
 |
| Moving right along, we walked the main drag |
 |
| Mostly a large parking lot where, apparently, the village green used to be? |
 |
The main sight being the pub, commemorating a local hero in the Welsh wars, 1062 or so; the pub is noted for its turnip tossing competitions; seriously; we proceeded on... |
