Wow! Some top notch architecture on that ride. The Cathedral cloisters are beautiful, visited a few years back. St Marys tower is also a real rarity.

Wisley Church yesterday. No story to the photo, just a spontaneous stop for a snap. 850 years old according to Wikipedia, and apart from a nearby sewage works and the RHS garden, the village doesn't seem to have expanded in that time!

The last two from Monday's outing - separated by less than a mile and with links provided for more info
Firstly the church of King Charles the Martyr in Shelland (I don't think the Portaloo on the left is an original feature)

And lastly is St. Augustines in Harleston

I rang the bells there many many years ago (arghhh, about 42!!!), but have never been inside the main part of the church - fascinating, thanks!

I parked up the bike while I went for a stroll up a mountain. That's Die Cathedral behind.
