Capture by jfFrank of the Holy Rood at The Lawns in Swindon, Wiltshire. The Holy Rood is an old Norman church, and was until 1851 the only church in Swindon. Holy Rood at the Lawns stands isolated at the hilltop, with the grounds of the Goddard family Tudor mansion. The land is thought to contain the remains of a Saxon village. The Goddard manor was not exclusively for the use of the family, it is though that local residents were allowed to ice skate on the lakes within the ground, when they froze over.

During the World War II, the manor house was used to house US and British troops. During this period it sustained some damage and by 1952, it became derelict and, sadly, was demolished.

Only the chancel area of Holy Rood at the Lawns remains today. Though the chancel is not generally open to the public, though it is possible to arrange visits.
