Two of a Kind Christmas Collection
Truly "two of a kind", our delightful snowy duo has been inspired by the Norman parish church of St Mary in the small Shropshire village of Bedstone. Situated close to the Welsh and Herefordshire borders, the village was recorded as Betieteune un the Domesday Book commissioned by William I in 1086.
Built from roughly coursed limestone rubble, the church dates back to the twelfth century, but the attractive timber-framed bell tower is a much later addition (probably seventeenth century) and features an impressive oak-shingled broach spire and louvered belfry windows.
Out versionof the Churchof St Mary comes complete with a charming complementary miniature hanging ornament, which features the west end elevation of the churchwith its ornate Romanesque arched doorway with chevron detailing and nineteenth-century round headed stained glass window.
