Title: St Mary's Church, Kingsclere [Go to resource]
Description: During extensive restoration in 1848-49 most of the wall were faced with split flints, as shown here. St. Mary's is known for the famous 'bedbug', seen here glinting on the weather vane. Legend has it that when King John stayed in the village overnight he was tormented by bedbugs and ordered that the church should display an image of the bug! The present vane dates from 1751.
