DescriptionNormanton Church, Rutland Water - geograph.org.uk - 1462172.jpg
English: Normanton Church, Rutland Water. This is one of Rutland Water's most famous landmarks. The church, with semi-circular portico and tower, was built in 1826–9 and was designed by Thomas Cundy, then architect to the Grosvenor estate in Westminster.
The original site of Normanton Church (St Matthew's Church as it was once known) would have placed it below the proposed water line of Rutland Water. The Church was saved from the water and now houses an exhibition about the building of the reservoir, as well as fossils and an Anglo-Saxon skeleton.
