St John the Baptist, Wolvey

Saint Oswald, Rockhampton.

Saint Michael the Archangel, Compton Martin.

Fifteenth century rebuilding of the Norman original in Perpendicular style stopped when the south pillar of the chancel arch began to fail.
The low deformed chancel arch is not what they intended to create. The spiral rope pattern carving of one pillar is their work.


The parish is a participant in the 'Bats in Churches' conservation programme.

An unintentional return visit to Saint Mary, Nempnett Thrubwell, due to missing a turning.

September's deep blue skies gave much better light than August's overcast, allowing a picture of the Pugin screen, and the corbels in the nave.

An unintentional return visit to Saint Mary, Nempnett Thrubwell, due to missing a turning.

"Rabbits there as big as sows, the hens there look the size of cows
All the pigs do Irish jigs, and pigeons pull the ploughs
So leave me there, let me grow fat, and live and laugh, and after that
Bury me in a cider vat, down in Nempnett Thrubwell.
Sleepy Nempnett Thrubwell, dear old Somerset." - Adge Cutler

All Saints' at Naseby, too tall to get in one shot

Venn Ottery yesterday - annoyingly it was locked, so I couldn't go inside to see its medieval bench ends. In case you're wondering about proportions, the nave was rebuilt in the 19th century - I suspect the old one was much smaller.
