http://www.lullandorch.org.uk/
A small 14th century church described by Pevsner as 'exceptionally interesting' with fine stained glass and carved stonework.
The church sits on an island (the moat having been created by an 19th century owner of the estate) and has no electricity supply so all services are candlelit and the organ remains hand-pumped..
As well as regular Sunday services the church holds a series of Choral Evensongs in the summer and sees many wedding services.
