Garway is a lovely village with an even more beautiful church originally dating to the Saxon period
However there's a very Thin Veil there .... M R James a famous writer of ghost stories, had a peculiar experience when visiting Garway in 1917, which he mentioned in a letter
'We must have offended something or somebody at Garway I think: probably we took it too much for granted, in speaking of it, that we should be able to do exactly as we pleased. Next time we shall know better. There is no doubt it is a very rum place and needs careful handling.'....
Unfortunately he didn't tell his reader anymore than that
The atmosphere within the church is peaceful and indeed beautiful I can't imagine it was here that M.R. James met his 'rum' spirit though I can believe it of the feelings I picked up in the village !
The Holy or Healing Well at Garway Church said to be were the Templars drank when conducting their rituals and ceremonies at the Church
The feeling of peace is very beautiful with this area of the church
