Your Bike in front of a Church

[Shack]

Culmstock parish church

Burlescombe Parish Church, including a lovely Mary and baby Jesus bronze above the door, and some ghoulish skull stonework by the main gate into the grounds

Saint James the Less, Iron Acton.

A strange building, a massive edifice with domestic style details and dumpy proportions, conveying battered resilience.

Tricky to get an angle of the dangle if I want the bike in as well, but here we have my church (I work for a charity they set up) St Michael's and all Angels, Heavitree, Exeter.

St Mary's, Lace Market, Nottingham

My bike in front of St. Alexius Catholic Church in Herbolzheim, Upper Rhine valley, Germany:

The "lump" on the rear left corner, just under the onion dome is yet another storks nest: they will nest on anything as long as it's high up...

Church of St Laurence at Kings Newnham, well it used to be a church, but was last used in the middle of the 18th century It's a good job I haven't put the black handle-bar tape on yet

The Parish Church of Saint Bartholomew Whittingham. The steps to the right of the gate are so worn , they are curved. Can't figure out why they're there though?

I haven't ridden in the Kings Newnam area for ages, at one point we were starting rides from the tower.

Bruisyard tower looks Saxon but Historic England say its 'Norman or earlier'. I reckon it was built in the mid 11th century shortly before the conquest, but not recorded. Very nice indeed
