Description
The Church of St Michael the Archangel, Shalfleet, Isle of Wight, England. This medieval, Grade I listed church, in the tiny village of Shalfleet was built almost like a fortress. The walls are 5 feet thick and the sturdy looking tower with battlements, had a secret room only accessible from a door on the roof. The tower, dating from 1070, was a place of refuge for the residents, during attacks by the French. Unusually, a 3 pound gun was kept in the tower. Much later, the gun and the church bells were sold to fund the addition of a steeple in circa 1800, but the steeple had to be removed in 1912 after becoming unsafe. The church currently has two bells.

Description
There seems to be little doubt that,in it's early hitory,the church of St.Helen,Darley Dale was of considerable importance.Indeed,even before Christianity was known in the area it would appear that the site had some mystical significance. One of the reasons for the siting of an alter,and later a church was the custmaty use of the place for religios,albeit pagon,observances.And it seems likely that the site of St.Helen's was just such a place-likely because,for one thing here is one of the oldest yew trees in the country,believed to have stood here for 2000 years. Perhaps it is the sombre shade,the mystic darkness of the yew tree's foliage that has caused it to be associated with observances of a religious nature.A mature yew would give shelter the year round and growing in the open-as distinct from being plated in the confines of a churchyard-it's broad flat crown and wide-spreading branches would provide protection that few other trees could offer.It's musky aroma has its own occult connotations while the mass of red berries it bears in an otherwise colourless witer woodland,would create a natural focal point. The Ancient Britons most probably held their ceremonies in the shade of the yew,the funeral pyre of the Romans for their fallen comrades is believed to have been here;very likely the first Christian alter in the area was erected under the shelter of its branches,many years before the first Saxon masons began work on a more permanent structure.
