⛪️ Beautiful Ancient Church ⛪️
Crail Church的点评
点评：This is a category A historic listed building, with some of its parts dating back to the 12th century.
The tower with its stone spire was added in the 13th century. Obviously the church has undergone many alterations over the centuries, but is very attractive , with an extremely calm and peaceful demeanour.
The ancient kirkyard within lovely grounds , is extremely interesting to wander round - with tombs & monuments engraved with Latin inscriptions dating from the 16th century.
We were lucky enough to be given
a tour of the interior by the hospitable lady custodian who lives beside the church, and obviously has a great affection for it.
She showed us carved wooden panels that had been rescued for posterity, and the huge church organ that previously belonged to Michael Portillo’s father.
There is also a war memorial at the gateway, and don’t forget to look out for “The Devil’s Bluestone” at the entrance - which legend has that the devil hurled in fury at the church from the Isle of May.

翻译：这是一座A级历史保护建筑，部分构件可追溯至12世纪。
带有石质尖顶的塔楼建于13世纪。教堂历经数个世纪的变迁，至今仍魅力十足，散发着宁静祥和的气息。
教堂周围环绕着美丽的古老墓地，漫步其中，令人兴味盎然——墓碑和纪念碑上镌刻着16世纪的拉丁文铭文。
我们非常幸运地得到了一位热情好客的女管理员的带领，参观了教堂内部。她就住在教堂旁边，显然对这座教堂充满深厚的感情。
她向我们展示了为后世保存而修复的雕花木板，以及曾属于迈克尔·波蒂略父亲的大型教堂管风琴。
大门处还有一座战争纪念碑，别忘了留意入口处的“魔鬼蓝石”——传说魔鬼从五月岛愤怒地向教堂投掷了这块石头。
