The old Cottages at Barnes Cross, Holwell, with the old Victorian post box which is still in use.

A closer look at the rather elegant box which dates from about 1854.

This building was once a chapel and is now a dwelling.

I have been through the village of Holwell many times but never before visited the village church. The main reason being that it is located at the end of a no through lane and lies about a mile north of the main village. The original medieval village is located at the end of lane running east from the cross roads at Barnes Cross. The old hamlet is known as “The Borough”.

The old village church of St Lawrence. The original church is said to date from Saxon times but the church we see today dates from 1480.

An alternative view from within the churchyard.

The old thatched property on the right is Holwell Farm.

A return visit to look inside the church.

The font.

The church nave and altar.

The memorial to the men of the parish who fell in the great war.

The table of kindred and affinity.
