All Saint's Church, Kemble added to Places of Worship in South West by clinkadink on 02/09/2022

In the year 682 Cedwalla, King of Wessex, gave a grant of land in Kemble to Aldhelm, the Abbot of Malmesbury. It is certain that a church was built about that date. Present records show that a stone building was erected consisting of a nave, south aisle, chancel and western tower between 1100 and 1250. The south porch was built by William de Collerne, Abbot of Malmesbury, in 1280. The tower dates back to about 1250, thespire to about 1480 and the font to 1350. In 1823 the church and spire were severely damaged by lightning during a storm on the 29th December and was not in use for a long time. A large part of the church was rebuilt in 1872-73 and the spire restored in 1964.

The church is in the early English style except for the south chapel. The north aisle was a new addition; otherwise the original stone was used. On the south east buttresses are four 13th century coffin lids with crosses, used to patch the tower. The early English south porch with an image niche above the doorway of keeled roll moulding is worthy of notice.

The south chapel, which is reputed to have been built from the stone of a church at Ewen, has a fine moulded trefoil sedila and piscine, a tomb recess of 1320, and three perpendicular windows. The organ and ease, dated 1788, is almost unique. Only two of its kind were ever built. It was given in memory of the late SJ.Phillips, and is in this chapel, which has been furnished with an altar and chairs by Mr W.S.Boycott in memory of members of his family.

The pulpit was installed at the 1872 restoration, and the very handsome lectern about 1900. The plain octagonal font on a modern base is 14th century. Note the Hanoverian Coat-of-Arms over the doorway.

The monuments of an effigy of a knight,1290, in Purbeck marble, and of Elizabeth Coxe, 1783, Ann Coxe,1790, and Charles Coxe,1808, are fine examples of the period.

The Church yard was closed at the end of the last century and contains some old vaults. The great Yew tree is generally considered to date from Anglo Saxon times: a more recent legend says that Roundheads tied their horses to it in the Civil War. It contains a new tree growing in the trunk of the old one, and experts have given assurance that the tree will live for many years.

Steall Waterfall, Glen Nevis, Fort William South (By AlbionDrones)

The second day of our NC500 trip, after spending the first night in Fort William, an extra to our planned trip, a drive into Glen Nevis and a walk up to Steall Falls, the UK's 2nd largest waterfall.

The day was much improved over the torrential rain of the previous day, and with a long drive ahead and plenty of places planned to stop, we set off early - after a great breakfast at the Cruachan Hotel - to see the falls.

Arriving early, we had the place almost to ourselves. The drive along a twisty single-track road is not for the faint of heart, but upon arrival at the small car park, we saw only one other vehicle. The walk to the Falls is not an easy one, lots of steps, waterfalls and streams to cross and some treacherous terrain. Walking poles came in handy, good boots are essential, and a good level of balance and mobility would be recommended.

However, the reward of reaching the almost alpine valley and seeing the Falls is definitely worthwhile. I wish we had allowed ourselves more time to walk and explore - it would have been great to fly the valley up to the falls with the AVATA2, skimming over the rocks to reveal the distant falls, but time was not with us, so we decided not to fly the AVATA this time - rest assured, we will return!

Lots of areas to fly from in the valley atop the walk, however the falls can also be seen after about a 10 minute walk form the car park - in the distance at a range of about a mile or so.
