点评:Friday 24 November 2023, my husband and I came to visit Odda's Chapel which is under the care of The English Heritage.
We parked our car opposite in the small car parking area. Odda's Chapel is a well maintained building showing its unique historical structure from Saxon times. The chapel was incorporated into a Tudor farmhouse to form an extended house, which is still privately lived in and owned.
This act enabled us to have the luxury of visiting it today. The chapel is devoid of any church architecture i.e. font, pews etc.; yet the chapel has a kind of ethereal charm. Its quietness is very soothing to the soul.
There is a carved wall stone, where once was the fireplace, and if you look up you can see the abandoned rooms of the former house above you.
If you like Saxon history, then this is definitely a place to visit.
PLEASE NOTE: As Odda's Chapel is very near the River Seven, please check the Government Flooding Website before visiting in bad weather, as this area is known to flood and has a automatic flood barrier just before you get to Odda's Chapel.

我们把车停在对面的小停车场。奥达教堂是一座维护良好的建筑,展示了撒克逊时代独特的历史结构。该教堂被并入都铎农舍,形成了一座扩建的房屋,至今仍为私人居住和拥有。
这一举动使我们今天有幸参观了它。教堂没有任何教堂建筑,即圣体、长凳等;然而教堂却有一种空灵的魅力。它的安静对于心灵来说是非常舒缓的。
墙上有一块雕花的石头,那里曾经是壁炉,如果你抬头看,你可以看到上面以前房子的废弃房间。
如果您喜欢撒克逊历史,那么这里绝对是一个值得参观的地方。
请注意:由于奥达教堂非常靠近七河,因此请在恶劣天气前往之前查看政府洪水网站,因为该地区经常发生洪水,并且在您到达奥达教堂之前设有自动防洪屏障。
