This post was first published in 2013 and the photos are not quite as how I would like so at some stage I may go back for more but I hope you enjoy what I have shown
Such a tall steeple on this lovely church.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of these photos, especially the rood screen and that ceiling. I love English churchyards. My husband's ancestors are buried at another St. Peter and Paul church, in Cranfield.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I've visited a couple churches with this same name. I think one of them was in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking around these old churches and cathedrals. My country is so young and Christianity only goes back 200 years so our churches are not even that old. Thanks for sharing them.
