Locked, barred and bolted: St Mary's, Higham Ferrers

Pevsner says St Mary's, Higham Ferrers, is 'a very grand and interesting church' , but I found it locked, barred and bolted.

Still, there is plenty to enjoy about the exterior, and close by are a 14th century cross and a bede house and grammar school from the 15th.

You can see the first two here, but I shall save the school for another day.
