Wentnor
The village of
Wentnor lies on a ridge to the west of the Long Mynd, with good
views in all directions.
Wentnor is an attractive
village on a location that dates back to Saxon times. The church
of St. Michael and All Angels is at one end of the ridge, and the
views towards the west from the churchyard are spectacular.
Carved into an exterior corner of the church is an inverted
'face'. Inside the church is a tombstone known as the
Hurricane Tombstone - this is in memory of a family who lost
their lives in the nearby hamlet of Asterton during a hurricane
in 1772.
Opposite the church a cottage - now known as White Horse Cottage,
was once the local police station.
