Yet it could all have been very different.⁣ ⁣ Professional wedding photographers and their customers should be grateful for the public outcry of 1970 that saved Normanton Church from destruction when plans to flood the area around it were being set in motion.⁣ ⁣ When the demands of a growing population had to be met, consultation took place to decide on a suitable site for a much-needed new reservoir and the Gwash valley in Rutland was chosen.⁣ ⁣ The valley had to be cleared and so Normanton Church was deconsecrated and scheduled for demolition. But the general public had other ideas and their protests were successful.⁣ ⁣ Hard to believe that this iconic church was once empty, cold and lifeless; now it is a place of joy and happiness.⁣ ⁣ What more could you want on your special day than a magical wedding on the water at Normanton Church?⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:⁣ ⁣ Take a train from Birmingham New Street station, Leicester, Peterborough or Cambridge to Stamford with 'CrossCountry'. Get on the nr. 12 bus service with 'Centrebus' to Normanton.⁣ ______________________________________⁣ ⁣ #Normanton #NormantonChurch #Rutland #RutlandWater #England #Britain #GreatBritain #Summer #UnitedKingdom #Jaw_Dropping_Shotz #Oakham #BestVacations #Staycation #BeautifulPlaces #2InstaGoodPortraitLove #ArtOfVisuals #ForBesTravelGuide #CondeNastTraveller #LonelyPlanet #OutdoorPhotography #TravelBlogger #Tourism #TravelAddicted #Britain_Outdoors #WalkingBritain #HiddenGem #MadeInUK #VisitEngland #Photos_Of_England #PhotosOfBritain (at Normanton Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTg4ax_o7U4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday, my wife and I travelled over to Normanton On Soar in Nottinghamshire, UK to meet up with old friends and enjoy some decent food and pleasant company. I had never been to the village before, and it was both quiet and picturesque. The 13th century church was a real gem of a place, one could sense the history embedded in its walls, and the minds eye was directed to what was called the Leper door, when people who were inflicted with that disease, had to enter the church away from the main congregation. We also had a squint at the old but still in existence ‘Chain Ferry’, - a manually operated small boat pulled across the narrow width of the River Soar, linking Nottinghamshire with Leicestershire. The Food was excellent at The Plough Inn, I had the large ‘Sausage & Mash’ which was delicious.

Great to know places like this still exist, as I said it was our first visit, it wont be our last.
