Église St Pierre, Lacave:

I've found my smallest church so far – St Hugh's, Foolow. It was converted from a blacksmiths to a church in 1888, which must be a fairly unusual scenario. As much as it may look like a mere chapel, it is in fact a bona fide church.

St Hugh of Lincoln apparently had 'a deep and lasting friendship' with a swan (and is thus usually pictured with one, along with being the patron saint of swans, naturally).

How "deep" one wonders? Apologies for the smut Hugh.

It does make me wonder how specific certain vows might have been, let’s just say that.
