Normanton Church, Rutland. Flooded and partially submerged by creation of Rutland Water.
Normanton Church is situated at the edge of Rutland Water, the
largest man-made lake in the UK. Originally called Empingham
Reservoir, the lake is one of many that were brought into being
since the late nineteenth century to provide water for an ever-
increasing population.
Lying near Oakham in the county of Rutland, the reservoir was
completed in 1977 and now covers an area of 3,100 acres. Rutland
Water is available for recreational purposes as well as providing
water for domestic and industrial use.
To make Rutland Water it was necessary to flood a large part of the
parish of Empingham. Sadly, this meant the destruction of some local
communities. Both the village of Nether Hambleton and Middle
Hambleton were cleared. The river Gwash and several others were
diverted to provide the water needed to fill the reservoir.
The valley had to be cleared and so Normanton Church was
deconsecrated and scheduled for demolition, but the general public
had other ideas and their protests were successful. When it came
time to flood the area, it became obvious that the church would be
partially submerged once the high-water level was reached. This
would mean the gradual erosion of its lower walls and foundations. A
hastily formed trust was organised with the aim of rescuing the
building from a watery demise and various proposals were considered.
Finally, it was decided that the lower level of the church should be
filled with rubble and topped with concrete to create a new floor.
This would be approximately 60cm above the water level. The church
would become a small island once the reservoir was filled, and so a
causeway was built connecting it to the nearby shore of the lake and
an embankment was constructed around the building. A layer of
boulders was then put in place as a defensive breakwater.

Beautiful Wedding day, Normanton Church, Rutland Water | Forget Me Knot | Leicester Wedding Video
Mr & Mrs Goode’s wedding at Normanton Church was our first ever wedding video! We were incredibly excited to begin our new venture into wedding films.
The wedding took place on March 29th 2014 at the beautiful Rutland water. We started with bridal prep at the location and groom prep too. We spent the morning with everyone getting ready for the special occasion and captured footage of the excitement and nerves in abundance!
Their ceremony was held in Normanton Church and they had arranged a great mode of transport for groomsmen and family – a wedding bus! The happy couple were blessed with gorgeous sunshine for the whole day! We managed to take advantage of the stunning location and get some lovely memories on film.
The wedding bus then took the couple and close family to the reception, where everyone got to enjoy some food! And of course, some funny speeches! The Goode’s also had great entertainment in the form of a live band. First dances are always a blur, so we thought it was important to capture that for the newlywed’s.
As the night went on and the party continued, we were really grateful to have spent a “Goode Day” filming! For our first ever venture, we are incredibly proud of what we’ve put together for Barry & Beth and we wish them a lifetime of happiness together!
