Built in the 12th century, the church originally perched on the end of a peninsular between two bays. Over the years the sea slowly eroded the peninsular turning it into the tiny island it is today. The church eventually fell into disrepair and became a ruin until it was restored around the mid 1900s. The elements are again causing damage to the building and another appeal has been launched to repair the building. However, the church is still in use and is popular as a wedding venue.

It is. I hope they get enough money in the restoration fund to make the necessary repairs.

We did, although the causeway has long since gone and is now just a pile of rocks. But what an amazing place 🙂 xxx

No, unfortunately we couldn’t go in as it was locked. I think it’s only open when there are services or at specific times.

Yes, me too. It would be terrible to let it decay again.
