raholp church

The church is of uncertain date; it is a broad rectangle in plan, and was heavily restored in 1915 but more carefully in 1989. Unusually, it has a door in the north and south as well as the east wall. Its most interesting feature is the broken lintel over the east window (possibly re-used from an earlier church?), which has equal-armed crosses lightly incised on its interior face. Beneath it a grave was found during excavations in 1915, and was claimed to be that of St, Tassach himself. To the east of the church there is a cross base, but many of the early Christian carved slabs known from here have, sadly, been stolen.
