We visited St. John the Baptist in Latton village late November 2001 - a beautiful sunny day with a crisp chill in the air.   The church looked splendid surrounded by the vivid colours of autumn:   every shade of orange and brown, and the brilliant blue sky.   Wonderful!

Our thanks go to the lady who arranged for the church to be unlocked for us so we could take these photographs.

The history leaflet available inside the church tells us the church was built around 1150, although of course many changes and renovations have taken place.   The lower section of the tower was built in Norman times, and the upper section in the 15th century.   No mention is made in the leaflet as to who composed it - but well done to that person for producing a concise history in a necessarily small leaflet.
