Photo "Church of St John the Baptist, France Lynch, Chalford The church was built in 1857 according to the village website. The derivation of the name 'France Lynch' from the same source is as follows: 'Lynch from the Anglo-Saxon ‘hline’ means a cultivated terrace following the contours of a hill. ‘France’ is much more difficult to explain. Some say it is derived from Frams-eye (island) or –ea(stream) from the Fram (Frome) river in the valley, thence, perhaps via ‘Francey’ to ‘France’. Others say it is derived from the 17th century Huguenot refugees who settled here to make woollen cloth and silk.' The land in the foreground is private but has a public footpath through it and this provided the viewpoint." by Brian Robert Marshall (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0) / Cropped from original
