St Oswald's Church, Grasmere Village

St. Oswald's Church, Grasmere in the Lake District, Cumbria.
Until the 19th century, the floor of the church was earthen and was covered with a carpet of rushes that was changed in the annual Rushbearing Festival. The ceremony still takes place around the 5th August. William Wordsworth is buried in a family plot in the churchyard.
