I have enjoyed the occasional pint with our cycle group at the George and Dragon opposite. Here's to its reopening!
There was a cyclist sat at one of the outside tables eating, I presume, his lunch. So I didn't hang around and I ate my sandwiches sat on the grass verge on a quiet lane.

You need to be VERY careful on the quiet lanes round there...

Priory Church Of St Mary, Deerhurst, Gloucestershire.
@Grant Fondo, this one is quite an important church apparently, dates back to the 8th century.

Well I couldn't find my 'Gloucestershire' by Pevsner, but this is an important and rare church. Not quite as old as Brixworth and Escombe (620-675), but no complete buildings in this country are.

Googled the interior, stunning and 1200+ years old, now on my official 'to see' list :okay:

When you do get to see it you will only be about 100 yards from Odda's Chapel, you'll see the brown signs.

Usually full of tourists of course, but since the plague has hit I was able to notice something I had never noticed before (you truly do work in mysterious ways god to enlighten us mere earthlings).

Some very recent additions to the front - including a statue of Martin Luther King.

Old school panniers on bike full of garlic to deter/divert Derbyshire police who might otherwise be inclined to label me a lycra lout. And also to pick up any easy shopping I see - they've also got a load of super cheap cherry tomatoes in them from a Peckham market stall)

The explanatory sign - and in case anyone complains that the majority are blokes, all the four virtues appear to be women.
