Stoke. The village between Hartland and Hartland Quay on the North Devon/North Cornwall border.

One of the biggest churches to smallest village ratios I've ever stumbled across, which serves to show the power and influence the church used to have.

Devon has a lot of dispersed communities rather than nucleated villages, so the church would have served quite a large area.

Oh yes, mid 20's gusting to the mid-30's mph so I definitely knew about it.

Blimey, that's some buttressing there. Just as well, given the angle

Actually, made me think of Temple Church in Bristol, where my great grandfather was choimaster for ages. After it was bombed in the war, the demolition team was about to blow up the tower as they thought it was dangerous, until it was pointed out that it had been leaning for a few centuries before the war (Wikipedia photo again)...

Not a Church, but a lot of people seemingly think it's an ecclesiastical building
Built as an Almshouse

I have photos of Saxton, Fairburn & Birkin too, but no bikes in shot
Bike utilised to get there, but I guess that doesn't count?

Haha, I know that this is OT, but I was looking at the photo of Temple Church, and assumed the slight 'curve' as down to the photo. But no... seem that they started building the tower in 1390, but after two stages it started to lean, so they stopped. In 1460 they decided to finish it off, but tried to build it vertically from the wonky bottom. Hence the curve. Pisa? Pah, I think this is better.
