Normanton church is a real oddity. The church was scheduled for demolition when the Gwash valley was flooded to form a new reservoir in the 1970's.

The locals saved half of it - thus accounting for the odd proportions of the church from a distance. It looks like it has sunk into the ground. The base of the church was filled with rubble and is now beneath water level.
