Hi Adam,

Sonny pretty much covered the story. The village, which was depopulated in
1764 to make a park, was swamped by the reservoir in 1970. The church just
made the cut by raising the floor inside the main building. It is now a
museum which is perhaps just as well because attending a service there while
there is a gale blowing would be a real test of faith :-)

Thanks for looking.
