Sherston

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...
