This is the third picture of my church collection....The earliest part of this church is the twelfth century Norman doorway....The church was restored in the thirteenth century when the porch was added and the fifteenth century with a new window in the tower.....The church has six bells which were cast around 1550.One of these survives and is on display in the church and another survives in the tower.The other four bells date from 1937.....Please enjoy.

Wonderful capture! Beautiful old church and cemetary,lovely colors and clarity! Like the sprinkle of flowers in the green grass and the red wreaths in the foreground. Gorgeous blue sky! Well done! :)Ami

Very well presented shot of the church and cemetery Mick. I especially like how you have the Monument that is in tribute to the fallen in WWI or The Great War. What type of wreaths are those? Composition with the path and church are perfect. Of course the lighting is superb as always.

I do love the churches of Eruope. They make me realize how young my country really is. And they are so beautiful. To build something such as this without modern tools boggles my mind. Exellant work my friend and keep them coming.

What a beautiful church, unfortunately I can't seem to get to see any pics full sized. Bet this would be even more gorgeous.

Wow! That is so cool. It's so hard to imagine a church that old - we have nothing like that here in the states. Excellent composition and I love the red wreaths. The color really stands out.

Perhaps one of the best of this series, the path creates a good line in and the war memorial in the foreground with its wreaths creates lots of depth. It's a poignant shot too, the church has stood there for all that time and is still witnessing people remembering their war dead.
