Hounam
The site of Hounam church has been used for religious buildings for at least four hundred years and possibly far longer.
The current church at Hounam is the result of major works in 1907-8 after a fire in 1907. The outline of the building is largely unchanged but the large window shown in the photograph indicates where the original doorway once stood.
The interior of the church had to be refitted and remains virtually unchanged today from the rebuilding with the exception of replacement of the organ. The graveyard has several early stones, many mark the resting place of family groups or at the least note the events within a family.
