St Mary, lnk, is situated in the midst of a rather peculiar sort of gated community around Childwickbury Manor - it turns out, after a Google search, that it's a stud, which explains the other worldliness of the place. It also turns out that Stanley Kubrick used to own it and that "The Shining was finished at this home and Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut were started and completed here."
Anyway where was I, designed by G G Scott and built in 1867 this is a really successful simple building and, although my Scott experience is relatively limited, one of his best I've seen. The interior looks interesting as well as seen here.
Another one missed by both boys.
