Broome really was a repentant murder and agreed to fund a tower to be built. He also asked to be buried standing up beneath the doorway so that the congregation stood on his head each time they entered. A door mat now covers a stone slab with his name on. #littleadventures26

The history of the church h has murder in its annals. During 15th century Lord of the manor Nicholas Broome committed two murders. One in revenge for his father’s murder and the other a man taking advantage of his wife. The church is full of evidence of his penance #littleadventures26
