...this photograph is taken from the little village of Eyam in Derbyshire - it is the church in the centre of the village where many of the plague victims from the 17th century were buried. 256 of the 350 inhabitants of the village died when they isolated themselves from the surrounding areas to prevent the plague spreading. The history is grim (and the people were heroic), but the village is beautiful as is the church.

Very nice job on this one Patty, they were heroic and that's a lesson we should all learn from.

A great story to go with a lovely image Patti !
The only thing i find in contrast with the whole image is the blue clock !
Never seen a church with a blue clock before !

A very nice shot and interesting narrative. Now just who was this Saint Larry?

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

What a great writeup Patti. Just saddens me to think of those people that gave up their lives to save many others. This is a lovely clear capture with wonderful colors and depth. You've done a great job here. Thanks for sharing this one.

"Resonate with what is true for you and leave the rest." I'm always happy to see you at My Gallery. I appreciate all of you. Thanks, Anita
Well done, Patti. Excellent detail and composition. What a strange color for a clock, but then again, it's easy to read. These people deserve all the recognition they can get. What a truly heroic act.

More does not always equal better.
Very educational. With the birdflue thing ever looming, I have ofte4n tought of how I might isolate myself if it ever gets bad enough. By the way, I like that blue clock. Please send it to me. No hurry.

I really like this also Patti- the light over the entrance is very interesting as well as the history here. You've described as well as shown the beauty of it. Thanks.
