MBIFO the retired nominate chapel (the 1862 Methodist Free Church) on Chapel St in Grindleton (which is a fine and amusing name, fit to induce a grin)

hotbed of religious variety* that area.
Grindletonians.
Undercover catholics
Quakers - founding vision.
I took a pic of a problematical place in those parts quite a while ago amidst the plague - and took one of their very dodgy leaflets - must get around to posting if can dig out and snap the leaflet - if you don't get there before me.
* and then there's the Oranges are Not the Only Fruit folk over accy way.

That made a really good TV series.
Ashton - Under - Lyne (aka New Jerusalem) had some very entertaining religious loonies in the past too - also turned into a TV series - Mr Wroe's Virgins (BBC 1993)
Brierfield was known around Pendle as the Holy City due to the number of places of worship

I reported my last few rides on another thread, but have been looking for the opportunity to get a few pictures of this little church. It is on a pretty rough road and since it was near where my buddy & I finished today, I decided to continue and get a few photos.

Didn't you go in?
There's something remarkable/downright spooky-creepy inside.

Oh yes, had a Google. What a beautiful interior.

I discovered the inside by chance once when riding the bike - on a bike easy to stop for anything of course.
I sometimes think I have a sort of sixth sense vibe detector or something - I had ridden past it lots of times and had the vague feeling that there was something particular about it.
not sure I'd use the word beautiful to be honest - definitely striking though - gives you a real insight into the minds of earlier folk and the way the church terrorised them/kept them in line.
for anyone interested in seeing it, you can also get to it by London Transport if you are prepared for a bit of a walk - and Farthing Down is wonderful in itself.

Second one of the day: Woodbury... a mightily impressive tower!

It was a three church day, and here's the last: Clyst St George. Apart from the tower, it was pretty much destroyed by an erratic incendiary bomb in August 1940, but was rebuilt and reopened in 1952.
