Give me a medieval church anytime over something much newer as it is the history you mention that really interests me.

There’s so much history and interest in just quite plain things like the bricked up old doorways. Plus the churchyards are full of interest too. Glad you’ve been having a good time making up for the winter lockdown! xxMillymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-60918821099155777972021-05-04T10:50:41.343+01:002021-05-04T10:50:41.343+01:00CherryPie - Thank you - yes masks do ruin things s...CherryPie - Thank you - yes masks do ruin things somewhat but understandable atm.

I think it does a bit but according to Pevsner the weatherboarding was added last century so newer than rest of church. Timothy says thank you and he wishes Treasure could join him. He still doesn't get taken out though but remains at the caravan!! I do rather love primroses :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-89409346646463956272021-04-22T20:24:30.921+01:002021-04-22T20:24:30.921+01:00that looks lovely! and it was great to see Timothy...that looks lovely! and it was great to see Timothy again :) The Quacks of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165918541194607143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-78995841344886557352021-04-22T15:59:16.295+01:002021-04-22T15:59:16.295+01:00I enjoy your wanderings a lot, being without a car...I enjoy your wanderings a lot, being without a car it's now impossible to go anywhere other than on foot. Am I being overly critical if I say that Bell Turret looks incredibly out of place? We're rather ecstatically happy to see Timothy!
