Your Bike in front of a Church

[Alex321]

Pontyclun on Monday

 

[Andy in Germany]

Eckenweiler Dorfkirche (Lit: "Villiage church).

Not entirely surprisingly in Eckenweiler, near Rottenburg am Neckar, south Germany, which, in turn, is a village.

MBIFO three churches around Pontivy yesterday


Chapelle St Drédeno - constructed at the beginning of the 16th century. If I’ve translated correctly, it would appear that there were two Saints Drédeno (they were twins)

La chapelle du Gohazé - properly Notre-Dame-de-Joie du Gohazé - and built around the end of the 16th century

St Meriadec (in Stival) - built in the 15th and 16th century in a ‘flamboyant gothic’ style

St Peter, Walgrave

Wheatley Lane Mehodist chapel about to set sail

Wootton Church of St George the Martyr on today's bimble.

Not sure what church this is, upstream from Rudesheim on the Rhine.

... in front of Saint Michael & All Angels, Bawdrip.

The nave, with cantilevered stair from exterior to ringing chamber.



Parishioners from long ago?

Two offerings from today’s Toussaint ride:


Eglise St-Etienne (in St Etienne-du-Gué-de-l’Isle). Founded in the 16th century

Eglise du Cambout (in le Cambout). Built in the late 19th century on the site of an earlier chapel that had served the nearby chateau

As a bonus, I sneaked into the courtyard to take this photo of the chateau du Cambout

St John the Baptist, Skelsmergh, near Kendal. Seems to be mainly 19th century, possibly on the site of an older building. I note the village name is Viking. The gateway or lichgate is a First World War memorial.

Church of our Lady of Lourdes RC, Inch Island.

 

[geocycle]

St John’s Church, Hutton Roof, Cumbria. Another Paley and Austin creation ca 1880.

 

[Willd]

St Peter's at Swepstone

 

[gtmet]

... in front of Saint Francis, Stawell.

A squat, simple building, smoother finished inside than out, with the arcading along the north wall hinting at vanished past glories.

@gtmet interesting tower, almost looks like an earlier defensive structure converted into a church.
