Yes that would be Rutland water and the church is normanton church...the whole village of normanton was flooded when they built the reservoir.
It's a beautiful place to visit on a nice sunny day worth another visit.

You may be thinking of Grafham Water, which is about 5 miles off the A1 near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. Whether it is true or not, I can't say, but local folklore says that a village was flooded when it was built. Personally I've never seen it but that doesn't mean anthing. I have found pieces of Victorian terracotta pipes washed up, and if you're a fossil hunter, there's plenty to be found due to the clay soil. Hope this helps.

In England there are several such towns. The mill village of Goyt in Derbyshire; the towns of Derwent and Ashopton for Ladybower Dam; the village of Hambleton, inundated by Rutland Water; the town of Mardale in the Lake District, flooded by Haweswater Reservoir.

Why has Kielder Reservoir been down-thumbed?
It's true. Kielder is the biggest man-made reservoir in Europe I think (and the Londoners wanted to steal our water during their "drought", hmph!) any way, they flooded a town to build it, and so the buildings are underneath the water. When its hot, the water level drops and the building become visible.
Tada!
