Rutland’s most famous landmark was saved from flooding when Rutland Water was created in the 1970s. Now with the floor raised almost half way up the church, it is a fascinating building with a unique history.
Had it not been for huge public outcry, much of the church would have been submerged and its foundation destroyed. Instead, an alternate plan was designed. The church’s floor was raised by 60 feet, and a causeway was created from the church’s “island” to the lake shore so people could still access the sanctuary when the reservoir’s water was high.
