Nave often shutArches open all round

Walk up after St Peter's to see the church that was meant to replace it. This one never got a roof, so its nave stands open to the weather and is usually seen through empty window arches.

Visiting

Open to the sky, the nave has grass for a floor, and daylight falls straight onto it. The grey stone walls stand to full height: Gothic pillars, pointed arches and a tower, with every window meant for stained glass left empty.

Walk right up to the walls and look through the arches, which frame the inside from every side. The outside circuit stays open whatever the state of the nave. Then go back down to St Peter's and compare the two.

Know before you goPlan to see it from outside. Stabilisation work has closed the nave for long stretches since 2010, and it is kept for private events such as weddings.
