11th Century Church Close to the Famous Arlington Row
St. Mary's Church的点评
点评：Everyone who comes to Bibury, comes to see Arlington Row, the very picturesque 14th century terrace row of weavers' cottages. Most don’t bother with St Mary’s Church.
Arlington Row is swarming with sightseers but once you walk just a little further around to the church, you leave almost all of the crowd behind.
Built in the 11th century, this ancient Anglo-Saxon building has a large, solid, square tower and turrets that run along the tower and the roofline, making it look a lot like a miniature castle.
If you visit on a weekend in summer, the chances are high that there will be a wedding. If there is, you won’t be able to go inside. This happened to us a number of times during our stay in the Cotswolds (I suspect that most of the lovely Cotswolds churches are busy with weddings throughout the whole of spring and summer).
Although we weren’t able to go inside, we were still able to look around the churchyard.
It has a number of interesting features. The main entrance had been carved in the 1100s by Norman craftsmen who decorated it with a trefoil and palm-leaf carvings.
Nearby there’s a well-preserved Saxon gravestone set into the wall. It’s a long slab decorated with interlinking rings. Originally there were several of them but most were sent off to the British Museum so it was kind of special to be able to see this one in situ.
Several curious tombs with rounded, barrel-like tops caught our eye. These strangely shaped stone chests were ‘bale tombs’ built for wealthy wool merchants (we often saw a them at various Cotswolds churches).
The arched tops are supposed to represent the bales of wool that made both the merchants and the towns so wealthy.

翻译：来到比伯里 (Bibury) 的游客，无一例外都是为了参观阿灵顿排屋 (Arlington Row)，这条风景如画的14世纪织工小屋排屋。大多数人却对圣玛丽教堂 (St Mary’s Church) 不感兴趣。
阿灵顿排屋总是挤满了游客，但只要再往前走一点，就能避开人群，来到教堂。
这座古老的盎格鲁-撒克逊建筑建于11世纪，拥有高大坚固的方形塔楼，塔楼和屋顶上还建有角楼，使其看起来就像一座迷你城堡。
如果你在夏季的周末来访，很可能遇到婚礼。如果碰上婚礼，你就无法进入教堂内部。我们在科茨沃尔德 (Cotswolds) 逗留期间就多次遇到这种情况（我猜想，整个春夏两季，科茨沃尔德的大多数教堂都忙于举办婚礼）。
虽然我们没能进入教堂内部，但仍然可以在教堂墓地里参观。
它有很多有趣的特色。主入口由诺曼工匠于12世纪雕刻而成，上面装饰着三叶草和棕榈叶图案。
附近墙上嵌着一块保存完好的撒克逊墓碑。这是一块长石板，上面装饰着环环相扣的图案。原本这里曾有好几块这样的墓碑，但大部分都被送往了大英博物馆，所以能够亲眼见到这块原址的墓碑，实属难得。
几座造型奇特的墓穴吸引了我们的目光，它们的顶部呈圆筒状。这些形状奇特的石箱是为富有的羊毛商人建造的“羊毛包墓”（我们在科茨沃尔德的许多教堂都见过类似的墓穴）。
拱形的顶部象征着成捆的羊毛，正是这些羊毛包让商人和城镇都变得如此富有。
