Beautiful church...very symbolic in the battle of bosworth

This Church personifies what a typical English country village church should be. The centre-piece of a pretty village in an area of unspoilt country-side. Dadlington is itself a very attractive village, with a large, beautiful and well kept village green. The exterior of the church, although unusual in that it is rendered on what is probably stone walls, is full of character and the approach through an arched gateway (which is a War Memorial) is shows the building as beautifully proportioned. The graveyard and paths are very well tended. The tower is of hand-made, sun-dried bricks with a tiled roof. Immediately inside the church is a stone circular font on an octagonal base. The chancel and nave are both well kept with painted walls. The Altar and East Window are most attractive. I have just one adverse comment about the church interior and that is the carpeted floor! Why does this happen? It mars completely the acoustics inside a church and yet I see it so often. In what was probably, once a private or Lady Chapel is a book store, which is there to raise funds for the church. At the back of church are commemorative gifts including cards, mugs, tea towels, etc. all depicting the churches close association with the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 when King Richard III died in battle;- the last time an English monarch died in battle and the crown changed to the House of Tudor. There is much detail in the church on that battle and the amazing discovery of King Richards body several centuries later in a Leicester car park. It is recorded that the funeral cortege passed through Dadlington village on its way to Leicester Cathedral and Richard's final resting place. In the grave-yard are buried many of those who died in the Battle of Bosworth. Across the road from the church is the Dog and Hedgehog Pub, which looks most inviting, I must try it!
