High Hurstwood

Travel Guide

Track to barn The track curves round behind a pond in the trees on the right. There was a name on the gate, so the barn may be converted, or about to be so. High Hurstwood is in the distance.

Hermitage Rocks A grey sandstone rock outcrop near High Hurstwood now part of someone's back garden. The rocks once provided shelter to Mesolithic hunting parties with worked flint discovered dating back to around 6000BC. The caves which provided shelter for the hunting party was also home to a medieval hermit who allegedly baptised people in a nearby spring. Beyond the Reformation it appears the cave was used as a place of quarantine for those with infectious diseases before becoming a popular 18th century tourist destination. The rocks are on private land belonging to The Hermitage which can just be seen to the extreme left of the shot, however, a footpath that runs from Fowley Lane to Hurstwood Wood cuts through the bottom of the land which has been turned into paddocks.

The Church dates from 1060 with a 12th/13th C. nave, and north aisle from 1250 - south aisle is 14th C. The chancel is 12/13th C. and may have had an apse, sedilia and piscina on south side of sanctuary are 13th C. The tower was added in the 15th C. The original timber framed spire was destroyed in the Great Storm of 1987 and was replaced with a steel framed version with chestnut shingles at 165 feet. The font is Norman and was lost for years until found nearby being used as a cattle trough! St Denys' church is well known for its wall paintings which date from 13th C. onwards. They were covered over and only discovered in 1893. There is an impressive 15th C. doom painting with Christ seated on a rainbow with the virgin Mary and St John. The Neville chapel is in the north east corner of the church, named after the Neville branch of the Abergavenny family who were Lords of the Manor from 1450. The church is a Grade I listed building.
