King Offa's Coffin, Offchurch Offchurch owes it's name to an association with Offa, king of Mercia, having reputedly founded the first church here. Fragments of an ancient stone coffin within the present building are believed to have belonged to his burial. The present St Gregory's church is an aiseless largely 12th century building (the windows mostly altered in the 14th century when the chancel was extended) with a 15th century tower. The interior is somewhat gloomy from the Victorian glass that filled every window, though a recently installed abstract window at the west end (by Roger Sargent who lives in the village) casts a serene blue light across the nave. Apart from the remains of Offa's coffin there are several minor wall tablets from the Baroque period. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
