Evenlode Church
A sunlit Cotswold churchyard
Filled with leaning stones
Time-erased the carved names
Of those in village known
The funerals it has witnessed
The weddings here once held
The stories and the characters
That centuries have weld
The bells last rung in Seventies
Now due for restoration
One to mark a jubilee
With love from grateful nation
The vicars preaching sermons
To lead the parish flock
A seat for walkers resting
Where they can world take stock.
