St. John the Baptist Church, Edlingham. There may have been a church here in AD 740 which was replace by another circa AD 840. The first stone church dates from circa AD 1050 and parts of this may have survived in the west wall. The main part of the present building is 12thC, the 14thC tower was probably used for defence. The adjacent Edlingham Castle was built in the 14thC by Sir William de Felton who is buried within the church. The Gravestone tells a poignant story..Probably Cholera victims..R.

That the walls are still standing shows that it was a solid construction. Good capture from a good angle.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Beautiful church and looks like a gorgeous back window which would be over the alter. Is this still used

Always makes me wonder what they looked like when they were first built. Still beautiful now! A fine and superb capture Richie!

Four eyes are better than two.
Such a great photo with the old church. The sky really adds drama to the photo.

Richie - "The main part of the present building is 12thC' - a veritable newbie in English history. A wonderful capture, rich with details and color. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
That's older than me, Richie! Again the detail is so incredibly sharp. Great image.
