While visiting Thirsk we had a short walk to the neighbouring village of Sowerby, an attractive quiet haven. We called in at the village church. St Oswald's Church is an old building with an unusual layout as it has grown and developed over the centuries. There are many interesting features in the church, and I have taken quite a few photos there since we first discovered it.
On this occasion, as soon as we walked in we saw these attractive decorations - angels created from short sections of paper chains, and hung above the pews. It was a very simple display to create, but very effective. It is the sort of display that could be created with the help of even quite young children. We have passed on the idea to our daughters for their children or the children they work with!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I remember as a child cutting strips of coloured paper and gluing them to form paper chains to be hung up along walls for Christmas, but it is something that seems to be quite out of fashion. I've never seen short chains formed to make angels as seen in this photo.
( I think it`s more a practice of doing a lot.)

Thank you Dorothy. I thought these were great fun, and I can imagine my grandchildren making them!
