The doors of Waltham Abbey were still closed due to COVID-19 lockdown when I stopped by a couple of weeks ago. But the place still called me over to investigate.
Waltham Abbey, Essex, June 2020
Now the Abbey Church of Waltham Holy Cross, much of this building dates back to the 12th century, consisting of the nave of the Norman Waltham Abbey, plus a 14th century chapel and a 16th century tower.
This young girl was ahead of me on exploration of the ornate doors, and decided that she had to knock on every one of them.
And we weren’t the only ones interested in the ancient building.
