The Littlest of Churches.

If you want a very quiet wedding what better place to choose than Quarry Church near Dursley in Gloucestershire. I would imagine that if 12 turned up you would have a full congregation. Even the graveyard was small but in proportion to the building itself. Church built in 1852.

Another little geocaching trip and a search near to this very tiny church, I just could resist capturing it for my album.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

Beautiful shot of a quaint little place of worship. I love the stones in the building and fence and the arched windows. The light tan of the bricks around the windows and the corners of the building grabbed my attention and made the red of the other bricks in the structure really stand out. Wish I could see the inside (hint, hint). I love old churches. They are one of the things I look for when I am on a trip. Thanks.

@connie865 Thanks Connie, got the hint and I must admit I didn't look inside. Feel another little trip out.

Beautiful church.

@daisyjuds Thank you Judith, couldn't be smaller.

Lovely composition. Lots of interest here, with the stones, windows, fence and weathered roof. That is a tiny cemetery! Only 5 stones?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@genealogygenie Thanks Kim, there is a little bit more cemetery on the right. So it was first come first buried.

I would love to see this. Good shot :)

This is a lovely shot, like your pov and the church is just gorgeous

[Connie]

@ladymagpie Can't get anything by you, Heather! lol Look forward to seeing it!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@merleann @claireuk Thank you both, it's a pretty little place.

[Graham Thresher]

A beautiful capture. Glad to see it has not gone the way of many other small churches and been converted to a house.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@thresheg Thanks Graham, understood it's still in use today.

quaint Church wonder if its a chapel of ease ? a church other than the parish church but within the parish. We have one in Hatfield,built for people who could not travel so far as the Parish church

@philcameron59 Hi Phil, It's down as The Quarry United Reform Church, also now a Congregational Church. Does that help.

[Susan Golding]

A lovely composition. Sweet little church and so much detail in the picture.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@windridge Thank you Susan, it's a lovely little church.

[Tuncay]

I love such old buildings. Looks beatiful.

[John]

This is a classic image -- a beautiful church! Love the large bricks in the building.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@wayoflife Thank you, your view and comments are appreciate.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@congaree Thanks John, not sure whether the little building makes the bricks look bigger.
