Beautiful church, right in the centre of the village, with shops (Co-op opposite), pubs and tea rooms close by. Nice place to pause for a break.

James the Greater (the Latin word 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church in Egerton was dedicated, belongs together with his brother to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the surname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His grave in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain) is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Originally used as a royal hunting wood (hence the name), King's Wood is now much better used for hunting unique art pieces along its sculpture trail. However, If you do have a keen eye and a quiet step, you may still have a chance to see its last remaining herd of fallow deer. Rest assured, they are safe from hunters nowadays.
