St.Helen's Poké Stop 😱

The oldest parts of the church date from the 13th century.
St Helen's is one of only two Grade I listed buildings in the Borough of Wyre, both of which are visible from our house, and includes:
a "lepers' window" or "squint";
a grave marker for the village's only victim of the Black Plague;
a large rafter, once known as the "new beam", supposedly presented to the parish by King Henry VIII
The circular churchyard with several yew trees point to its original use as a Druid temple. It may be the site where Christian missionaries from Ireland first set foot in Lancashire at the end of the navigational portion of the River Wyre.

A reconstruction of Thjodhild's church (about 1000 AD) at Brattahlíð, Greenland, 2006.
The actual church was excavated nearby. Thjodhild, wife of Erik the Red, and the church are known from the Icelandic Sagas.
