These were taken at Rutland Water, one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe (oh, the places I go!). It was constructed in the 1970s by flooding an area called the Gwash valley (along with the few villages in the valley). This church was rescued - in a sense: the lower part of it was supported, the ground around shored up to protect it from the water, and it now acts as a museum, telling the story of the creation of the reservoir. Which is slightly weird, I think.
