Church Clock gets Spruced Up.

It's been a horrible wet day today, so I have found one from a few days ago.

An avenue of spruce trees leads up to the imposing church of St. James the Great in Saul, Gloucestershire. It was first recorded and built in 1140 by some monks and increased in size in the late 1700's.

It is near the River Severn and the Sharpness Canal and the village had grown through families of bargemen and Trow sailors. (Trows were a specific type of barges seen on the Severn).

Sorry for my terrible pun in the title. Best viewed by clicking on the picture to enlarge it.

I love your terrible puns! (All puns are terrible, and that why I love them, I guess) Enjoy the rain today. Love the photo, amazing to think there's been a structure there for so long.

[Phil Cameron]

that's so different in some way did you alter it or is it as taken
very good whatever

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@philcameron59 It's as taken with the framing added, the only other is to make it a bit brighter.
