We first visited this Church around 2009 – but at that time we were only focusing on the gravestones in St Mary’s Church – Duddington, and ignoring everything else. This was partly due to the early mobile ‘phones and digital cameras possessing a very limited memory. As time went by, and our genealogical research developed, we were asked to include an ever greater scope in our research which we shared online. This coincided with the technology drastically improving. Meanwhile, when we started this “Wyles” research project – we did not even possess a permanent website – and to date we have had two – before settling on the site we now possess.
Tixover is just over the bridge at the Western boundary of Duddington – and is about a mile or so down the road. Tixover (Old English meaning “Kids eat grass on a slope” – kids being young goats). Tixover is essentially a working farm about ten houses – with the Church being situated down a dirt-track – quite literally “in a field”! We visited again on Sunday 25th October, 2025, with our cameras and captured the following images. What I like about this Church is that it is simplistic and austere – completely in accordance with the principle of “Anglicanism” and “Protestantism” – which cleared the altars of all the clutter associated with Roman Catholicism. All the divine principles of Jesus Christ are upheld – with none of the superstition associated with the Vatican:
