Molesworth has a Yew Tree Farm with timbered walls under a thatch, and a pathetic patch of ground in an orchard where many dogs sleep. Faithful and much-loved creatures they were, among them Tantalising Tommy, who died in Italy. One monument has a bird bath with a stone figure of a terrier.
The church at Molesworth has something to astonish us. The chancel, with angles in its roof, is modern, but the nave and tower are 15th century, and the north and south walls have paintings worth coming far to see. Both were the work of an artist 600 years ago, and though they were fading away when we called we could still see St Christopher and St Anthony. St Christopher is shown with his great staff and the Child on his shoulder. He wears a white tunic and a red cloak, and is fording a river full of queer fishes, a hermit at the door of what looks like a sentry-box holding a lantern to guide him. Only the lower part of St Anthony’s figure is left, standing among trees with a bell in his hand; jumping up in front of him is a pig with a bell round his neck. There is an 18th century oak pulpit and an Elizabethan chalice.
