Church of St Ippolyts (church of England)

church building United Kingdom
St Ippolyts Church, St Ippolyts, Hertfordshire (<a href="http://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-162679-church-of-st-ippolyts-church-of-england-" rel="nofollow">Grade I</a>). I believe it's the only church in the UK dedicated to St Hippolytus, the patron saint of horses. During the Middle Ages, sick horses were brought to St Ippolyts to be blessed. Note that the clock on the tower is about five minutes out, but the church bells are spot on! Hertfordshire GOC's 10 August 2013 walk, which was an 11-mile circular walk from Hitchin, visiting Little Wymondley, Todd's Green, Titmore Green, St Ippolyts and Ashbrook. Some of the sights included the River Purwell, Purwell Meadows, Purwell Ninesprings, Ippolitts Brook, Ash Brook, Wymondley Transforming Station, Wandsworth Common and churches in Little Wymondley and St Ippolyts. Please check out the other photos from the walk <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/anemoneprojectors/sets/72157635076542749/">here</a>, or to see my collections, go here: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/anemoneprojectors/collections/">www.flickr.com/photos/anemoneprojectors/collections/</a>.
