Silver Wedding ride yesterday.

St. Andrews in Rushmere St. Andrew

Thanks to having a proper camera with me, I was able to get a fairly clear picture of the gargoyle on the top right of the tower and the central spike which turns out to be covered in carved (monkey?) heads.

St John The Baptist, Tredington, Gloucestershire.

This church is Grade 1 listed and has a couple of interesting features.

Interesting.that wooden tower reminds me of some in essex which i think used wood because of a shortage of suitable local stone.

I'm certainly no expert at all but it does seem to be the only one I know of around here with a wooden tower.

I'm no expert either.ignore the puzzing "attractive gate" comment, a leftover from something else my perverse browser/tablet combo left i

Congratulations on the anniversary, and a great photo too.
(I 'googled' Gawsworth, and found it's in striking distance to me so i've now planned a route there - thanks! )

At Mary’s in Bletchley, just behind Station X but don’t mention it to anyone.

It’s beautiful, it’s just a shame that Bletchley grew up around it.

Back in my Cable&Wireless days, we had offices and a datacentre in Blechley. At the end of a big system upgrade project we were rewarded with a tour of Bletchley Park (Station X). One particular thing I remember was the full size replica code breaking machine (early computer?) they built. The original was destroyed at the end of WWII, such was the paranoia back then of it falling into the wrong hands. The replica was made of the same GPO parts, so pretty much as good as the original. A fascinating insight into what was being done there at that time, definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't been.

The Harrington Arms nearby is recommended too. Nice beer garden.

It’s a good day out, the museum has expanded further in recent time but has kept the same feel.

Definitely worth a revisit
