This beautiful church supports features of medieval architecture along side elements of Early English, Norman and decorative gothic styles. If you’re ever out and about looking for this glorious church, you won’t miss it as it’s tower rises above the beautiful uneven countryside. Walesby church is also known as ‘’Ramblers Church’’ more so by locals as it is a much loved location within the walking community due to it’s position in the Lincolnshire wolds. It is known to host events such as walking festivals, walking activities and more within the ramblers community.
To reach this church, you have to walk up a dirt track hill and situated to the right hand side, in amongst the beautiful rolling hills, the church is there to greet you. It really is a great place to go exploring. When we got there there was seemingly nobody around, apart from a lone artist who was sat painting in the doorway of the church. We checked our drone assist app before we sent our drones up to check there were no flight restrictions active. There were two drone flyers on this occasion so we took it in turns to fly our drones so that one of us could act as a spotter for the other drone user.
The views from the church were beautiful, It was a really great location to explore and we got very lucky with the weather too.
Once we had finished with our Airbourne activites we entered the church yard to get some ground footage of the church. It was then when we found the local artist in the doorway who seemed very interested in what we were doing, it’s always great meeting fellow creatives on our journeys. She then told us the church was in fact open for us to enter, She lead the way gave us a brief tour and then left us to it.
Inside the church it was very clear that it wasn’t a very ‘used’ church if you like, it was dusty and seemed a bit run down but that didn’t take away from it’s quaint beauty. You can clearly tell that the village of walesby really do look after this church.
