Nice Brickwork

I am not very well up on churches, but I think this is the Catholic Church in Morpeth. I just loved the brickwork.

I Googled it but couldn’t find much about it apart from the following:

The Church of the Immaculate Conception was erected in 1897. Father Corcoran was the Parish Priest here for 54 years. His grave is at the back of the church.

Great piece of architecture, I guess that is lichen over the roof and fence :-)

Beautiful building, great capture.

I like the picture and the lichen covered areas of church and fence have settled it into its historical persopective

[Sam]

Lovely old building and capture. Especially nice with the splashes of the coloured bricks. :)

[Jane Morley]

Can't decide whether it looks German or French. Nice design though.

[Babs]

@hermann Thanks Sally, yes it is lichen.

@sioux @ethelperry @gigiflower @lpot1985 @dianeburns @onlyme111 @jackie8 @annied @darthkitty Thanks. You can always tell the Catholic churches out here in Oz canlt you they manage to always have fancy brickwork.

[Babs]

@chimfa Know what you mean Jane. Maybe it is a bitsa.

[Eve Pulsater]

It looks wonderful in that colour of brick.

[Babs]

@creampuff Very fancy isn't it. You can't get the staff these days to do brickwork like this.

[Peter]

Lovely capture Babs great pov and depth of field;)

My catholic primary school shares the same name as this church except the church by our school and from which it got its name was covered in grey flint! Nice brickwork and I also like that old wall.

[Marnie]

I really like the strong lines in this shot Babs, and the gritty detail you've captured.

[Deb]

Beautiful architecture Babs. I love how churches of most all religions have such great detail and structure.

[Kathie]

Stunning colours for a church or at least around here. Neat architecture

[Tammy]

Beautiful church!

[Angela Tavan]

beautiful building and dramatic brickwork! Nicely captured! Guess it could do with a bit of maintenance work to remove all that lichen.

[Laurie F]

Wonderful art!
