Your Bike in front of a Church

[Andy in Germany]

North Curry Independent Baptist Church, just to show churches don't have to conform to the usual model.

I knew I recognised the village; one of my colleagues in college commuted from there every day. If only I'd cycled more back then...

St Leonards, Downham

All Saints Church, Hulcott, Buckinghamshire.

Strictly speaking it's not MY bike, but I did ride it there - it was a rented Brompton I was using for the weekend when I took this photo.

And for one of my bike, here's it outside St. Thomas' Church, Simpson, Milton Keynes.

Photo taken on Remembrance Sunday about an hour after the service was concluded, which is why the poppies are so promenently on display.

Will Canterbury Cathedral count? A rare picture with no people in the background.

I'm feeling virtuous having done the local 1254m col on NYD. Seeing the sun at la Chapelle on the church was one of the many rewards.

I know I've posted mbifo this church before; this morning was so beautiful I had to take a new picture.

Angersleigh Church.

Here’s St Matthew’s Keasden, near…. well not very much, but has a view of Ingleborough. Enjoyed the bench behind it again for an al fresco cafe stop.

That should go in 'pic of the year'

I've noticed a sign on the A378 pointing towards "Ancient Church" for at least 30 years, but not visited until today.

St Catherine's at Swell.

I'll plan on visiting again in another 30 years or so.

If you didn't go in, do go in when you return in 2052, as the interior looks fascinating... https://www.britainexpress.com/counties/somerset/churches/swell.htm

Thanks Brian.

I did go in and missed everything except the font. A reminder that when I am hungry and damp a cheese sandwich was the only thing I would have noticed.

I hang my head in shame and promise to go back later this year.

There's something special for me about churches that have largely missed the modernisers of the 19th century, and this one even missed the tower-builders of the 15th century- a little gem to treasure there.

That photo really brought back memories of cycling through Chester during the covid lockdowns, really eerie. I'd lie and say you can just glimpse St. Peters at the top of Watergate St.
