St John the Evangelist Church, Wotton
Dates back to Saxon times. Much of the church was restored in Victorian times. There are some unusual carved heads around the porch door including those of King John and Archbishop Stephan Langton. The Evelyn Chapel in the church contains the tomb of John Evelyn, 1620-1706, the diarist.

It used to be a lovely old farmhouse with a yard and surrounded by old barns. Some have now been demolished, which must give beautiful views along the valley, but sorry, owners, to me, it now looks so bleak.
