Patching church

I was hoping to have a look inside the parish church of St. John the Divine in Patching, but when I arrived the gate was locked. I couldn't even get into the churchyard, so here is a photo peering through the gate.

@alijchapman It's only a few miles away, so I'll try again later in the year.

The rock around the glass window or door is very interesting.

Would have been nice to see inside

@joev I think the carved part is probably sandstone. The grey/black knobbly stones are flint, which is our local stone and comes in irregular shaped lumps.

@bkbinthecity I'll try again later in the year.

@handymaurice Hello Haydn. I love old buildings, including churches. I'm lucky because I do some secretarial work for a local vicar, whose parish church is about a thousand years old and I'm also a guide at Arundel Castle. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos and thank you for the welcome!
