Church of the Holy Cross by fbailey

Church of the Holy Cross

This church, a Grade I listed building, is situated in the village of Goodnestone, Kent. It dates in part from the 12th century with 13th century extension and rebuilt tower from the 15th century.

Nearby Goodnestone Park was built by Brook Bridges, 1st Baronet, whose family were related by marriage to Jane Austen who frequently visited.

Taken for the Flash of Red 2018 theme which is a month of black & white images with an optional flash of red on 14 February. The emphasis at present is on texture.

And there's a lot of texture here! Wonderful image. Love the headstones in the foreground and like your choice of lens allowing the building to loom large. Super!

I'm not familiar with the grade listings of buildings. But this is a beautiful sructure. There is lots of textures, but nice reflections and lines, too.

Oh wow, what a venerable old building, beautiful stonework. In Australia anything over 100 years old is just about ancient.

I'm always in awe at how they built such beautiful buildings without our modern day machinery. Amazing craftsmanship.
