After mooring the boat, Andy and I walked up to the medevial village of Braunston, boasting of two pubs, post office, small grocery store, butchers, fish & chip shop and the "modern" church which was rebuilt on the Norman church site in the early 1800's. Inside the church were two side altars made of stone which apparently had to be hidden following the Reformation after which, church altars were fashioned from wood. Most churches viewed from the canal were set upon a hill where their spires could be seen for miles around.
