Yet it could all have been very different.⁣ ⁣ Professional wedding photographers and their customers should be grateful for the public outcry of 1970 that saved Normanton Church from destruction when plans to flood the area around it were being set in motion.⁣ ⁣ When the demands of a growing population had to be met, consultation took place to decide on a suitable site for a much-needed new reservoir and the Gwash valley in Rutland was chosen.⁣ ⁣ The valley had to be cleared and so Normanton Church was deconsecrated and scheduled for demolition. But the general public had other ideas and their protests were successful.⁣ ⁣ Hard to believe that this iconic church was once empty, cold and lifeless; now it is a place of joy and happiness.⁣ ⁣ What more could you want on your special day than a magical wedding on the water at Normanton Church?⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:⁣ ⁣ Take a train from Birmingham New Street station, Leicester, Peterborough or Cambridge to Stamford with 'CrossCountry'. Get on the nr. 12 bus service with 'Centrebus' to Normanton.⁣ ______________________________________⁣ ⁣ #Normanton #NormantonChurch #Rutland #RutlandWater #England #Britain #GreatBritain #Summer #UnitedKingdom #Jaw_Dropping_Shotz #Oakham #BestVacations #Staycation #BeautifulPlaces #2InstaGoodPortraitLove #ArtOfVisuals #ForBesTravelGuide #CondeNastTraveller #LonelyPlanet #OutdoorPhotography #TravelBlogger #Tourism #TravelAddicted #Britain_Outdoors #WalkingBritain #HiddenGem #MadeInUK #VisitEngland #Photos_Of_England #PhotosOfBritain (at Normanton Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTg4ax_o7U4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Normanton Church aka St Matthew’s Church is the county of Rutland’s most famous landmark. Brief architectural history: St Matthew's Church is a Grade II listed building, built in classical style. The tower and the western portico were built by Thomas Cundy Jr between 1826 and 1829, based on the design of St John's, Smith Square in Westminster, while the nave and apse were constructed in 1911, by J. B. Gridley of London. The Church was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows. An embankment was built around the church leaving it a prominent feature on the water's edge. __________ #rutland #leicestershire #england #uk #europe __________ #normantonchurch #rutlandwater #architecture #classic #nature #blackandwhitephotography #beautifuldestinations #archdaily #architecturephotography #archilovers #dmu #water #instagram #instagood #instapic #instadaily #photooftheday #picoftheday by #seifnn (at Normanton Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEczJ4HvIt/?igshid=hvo5lrg3nx2c
