St John the Baptist in Granborough from today’s ride for the Q in my A - Z ride

Edit: took this on my phone so couldn’t really see the screen at the time but the sky looks quite dramatic.

And it rained just after that too

Saint Michaels Bassingham Lincolnshire

Out again today for some churches...

St Joseph's, Anderton.

St Paul's, Adlington.

Coppull Parish, Coppull (surprisingly)

I usually use GPS tagging to identify churches in my pics, but it's failing dismally on this one...somewhere else in Coppull though.

This one was opposite a nursery with lots of mummy's waiting around outside. Not the best place to be whipping out a camera phone.
The parish Church of St John the Divine, Coppull.

A couple more...

Charnock Richard CoE Church, Charnock Richard.

St Joseph's, Standish.

St Wilfred, Standish.

Harpole church

One of the finest collections of medieval woodcarving I've seen outside of a cathedral.

Yes beautiful!

Pont-en-Royans yesterday. Sadly, churches around here are virtually never open, so the best I can do is a photograph of the outside. This church actually has a rather splendid tower above this door, but is surrounded by other buildings, so no wider view photographable.

Looks Norman, always a shame when you can't get in.

Posted this one in Shotton up before

Doorway itself is Norman so 1100s but not porch or rest of church.

You can see interior is perpendicular (pointy arches) from c.1500 would have been round arches if earlier. Perishing little early architecture in Cheshire although the crypts hidden under the shops in Chester are 14th c and parts of the cathedral are Norman.

I was inspired to stop for the photo when the clock struck 3 as I was passing.

St.Mary's, Rostherne

Lovely photos. Quite rare to see dormer windows on church of that period as well.

13th century, romanesque - there's quite a lot of it in the region. The rest of the church was rebuilt in the 17th & 18th century, after the Wars of Religion.
