Hayslope Church

Grayscale illustration of a church with a bell tower showing through a group of trees. Before it lies a grassy field with birds pecking at the ground.

The old Anglican church of the village of Hayslope is described as grey with age. The congregation is led by Mr. Irwine and the church is patronized by the Donnithornes. It is also where Adam Bede sings in the choir (Book 2, Chapter 18).
