What a beautiful, simply designed wee church :-) I prefer the atmosphere in these to the overly gilded and ornamented places.
We have a lot of old (16th and 17thC) village churches around here, some with very old painted scenes on the walls but others which were 'added to' in the 18th and 19th centuries - massive gilded alterpieces which look totally out of place :-(
