ABC Wednesday - E

This week we visit the village of Evercreech, it is 5 miles north of Castle Cary where we went 2 weeks ago.

 

 

The village shop and post office

The bakery all ready for Valentine’s day.

  The Church of St Peter dates from the 14th century and is a Grade I listed building. The three-stage tower has set-back buttresses ascending to pinnacles, with a very tall transomed two-light bell-chamber with windows on each face The embattled parapet has quatrefoil piercing, with big corner pinnacles and smaller intermediate pinnacles. On the north wall of the tower is a roll of honour to victims of World War I

If you look closely at this clock you will notice there is no number 10, the roman numeral for 10 is X,  instead has an XI(11)and then two XII(12).  There is a rumour that the person who paid for the clock was told by his wife he had to be in from the pub by 10. Hence no 10(X) on the clock!
