Kempley may be just a small village but on Thursday 01 September it bursts upon the world stage via the Internet. Christened the Kempley Tardis, the site will tell the social, economic and religious history of the village over the past 1,000 years. The project, sponsored by the Friends of Kempley Churches and with cash from the Heritage Lottery Fund, demonstrates a new and exciting way of looking at the past, which is accessible to all. Visitors to the site will be able to take virtual tours of the two churches in a full 360o view. They can marvel at the rare wall paintings and view the oldest complete timber roof in Northern Europe and listen to expert commentaries as they tour 900-year-old St Mary’s. English Heritage, who helped by funding the video, is particularly pleased with this element.
