Your Bike in front of a Church

[Blue Hills]

You get around on your ecclesiastical missions @uphillstruggler - not from anywhere those parts I think?

Some of us know that place very well - and it has been said on here I think, all roads lead to Chipping.

Folks shouldn't be allowed to call themselves cyclists if they haven't been to Chipping.

So congrats.

It’s a funny thing then, the reason being that I tend to look for Chipping as it’s signposted from ribchester but I always run out of time, so glad I actually made it this time although I hadn’t know of your cyclist thing

I travel a lot for work so usually take my bike if I’m away for more than a day or two which is why my churches are far and wide.

Whilst not a religious man, I admire the architecture and workmanship of religious buildings

I’m the same with pubs, although I do enjoy beer

St Wilfreds Ribchester worth a look, 13th century, Grade I

St Wilfreds Ribchester worth a look, 13th century, Grade I

righto, that’s on my list next time, as are the churches in Osboldstone and Bolderstone, I’ve probably cycled past all three about 10 times without stopping for a picture

I posted this one up on wednesdays 'Your Ride .... '
St Olaves Chester. Its listed but declared redundant since 1972. There have been restoration plans in the last few years, but to no avail. 1611 with later additions.

Yapton, West Sussex. The Church of St. Mary.
Interesting porch...

Also, St Mary’s at Aldingbourne...

I’m not sure why St Mary seems so popular in this area, but that’s no doubt my religious ignorance.

You could include St Peter's in Salesbury whilst you are on your grand tour! I was christened there :-)

Lots round there. Upthread whalley with its ancient crosses outside.

The Saxon church in Brixworth this morning.

I like looking at people's entries in this thread & wanted to make an enty of my own. However, I've had difficulty finding my local church- until now! It turns out the origonal church was demolished in 1975. You can still see the outline of it though in the grave yard. The 'church' is now a shared hall in a local primary school. All I have to do is master putting an image in. Made a mess of it the last time I tried to post. If it goes well the 1st image will be the school building church followed by the origonal demolished church.
