Your Bike in front of a Church

[biggs682]

@biggs682 Thats a lovely church, I imagine it’s a peaceful one. Impressive array of cleaning products as well.

It's one looked after by the church preservation. I shouldn't think there are more than 50 people who live in the village which is off the beaten track .

I have often stopped there but never seen it open before so really lucky today .

Shame there wasn't a kettle

... in front of Saint Andrew, Congresbury, a local landmark seen on a grey day.

Weathered exterior details, from the earliest years, including carved jamb heads & a mass dial.





Inside, light and height, with a clerestory, and details through the centuries from C13 font, with Jacobean carved wood cover, through carved roof bosses






to a set of three modern war memorial windows, one each for land, sea and air, featuring scenes from the first half of the war, the years of struggle rather than victory. This one for the Royal and Merchant Navies:

MBIFO the Parish church of Holy Trinity, Old Wolverton, MK.

Thats a really elegant church, looks like it was remodelled 200 years ago, but they did a great job.

Yesterday's ride was planned around getting pics of more of Norfolk's round tower churches and in route order I managed...
St. Margaret's in Old Catton

St. Edmund's in Taverham

St. Nicholas' in Brandiston

St. Peter's in Haveringland - this was undergoing extensive restoration so no access to the grounds to take a pic with bike

Another St. Peter's, this time in Brampton

Then St. Lawrence in Beeston St Lawrence

(One more to follow as only 10 pics can be attched)

The final visit was to St. Swithin's in Ashmanhaugh
