I haven’t seen one of those bikes for a long time, how long have you had it?

It's a Whyte PRST-1 (aka Preston) I've owned from new, some 19 years now. It doesn't get used that often nowadays, but it still rides surprisingly well. One of those bikes that I'll never part with

They were well ahead of their time when they came out, I nearly bought one but got a Jekyll 2000 instead.

St James the Great, Stoke Orchard, Gloucestershire.

This church is one of six in the Severnside Benefice, I shall be looking to ride to the others over the next few rides although I've already done one of them already and you can see that one in post #951.

Fabulous! Grade I built 1170. Anything pre-gothic is a rare gem.

It has some rather special wall paintings inside.

Put it on the to see list, it's near all the previous churches I've posted.

I always liked the Cannondale Jeckyll - do you still own it? to me, Cannondale at that time made the best products, I still own an F800 from 2002.

Alas no, I foolishly sold it when I started getting into road bikes. They certainly had a good range of bikes back then.

I note that the website says
"Church services are generally of a traditional nature"
Means what i believe is called anglo catholic?
Or that odd (to me) set of churches within the c of e that stick with a lot of catholic pre-reformation ritual?

By the by I must be gaining some sort of architectural sense as i had the idea before the helpful comment on grading that it was something rather special.
