St Huberts Church, Idsworth * - a photo on Flickriver

            Have visited this location several times before and love it for the peace and quiet. This time was no different, except it was the first visit when it has been a blue sky day so had to take advantage of it.

Although it is a little overgrown, I am still intrigued what this little bridge in the foreground is for. It does not appear to cross any water or ditch!

During Anglo Saxon times the land around the Church was owned by Earl Godwin of Wessex, father of King Harold who died at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It is believed Earl Godwin had this small chapel built sometime around 1030AD and it served the village of Idsworth.

Although the village dates from the 9th century it has long since disappeared. It is believed the population was wiped out by plague towards the end of the 14th century and the deserted buildings fell under the plough. However, the Church survived and is still used for services with a very enthusiastic congregation. 

It is a grade 1 listed building giving it legal protection from any alteration or significant change without prior approval of the Local Authority.
