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 :-) http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/gold/viewGold.asp?ID=415 Thanks for looking. --Graham
