A Canalside Parish Church.

Again thank you for making my second capture this week appear in the pp page, it was the "Even the Canals are Flooding".

This picture was taken about 4 miles east of yesterdays picture and as the weather has returned to torrential rain again, it's one from my collection taken recently.

St. Cry's Church in Stonehouse is so dear to me and I have taken various photographs before. The place where both my Brother and Sister were married, and where I had been in the choir, been a bell ringing and was confirmed as a teenager.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.

Beautiful!

[Rachel Holbrook]

I think this church needs a visit - what a location!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@linnypinny @elisasaeter @rvm Thank you all, It is a very peaceful spot and the town is over a mile away. The church lies next to the manor and the manor farm.

Such a pretty scene - I assume the canal is not navigable at this point?

[Claire]

So picturesque , so beautiful

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@virtualbrownie @claireuk Thank you both for your comments and yes this part is navigable up to the next bridge, but there's no boats.

[Marilyn]

A very lovely area!

[David]

[Susan Golding]

A very pretty area indeed. Gorgeous weather too, reflected in the canal. Lovely shot

[Kathie]

Congrats on 2 PPs in 1 week. That's awesome. You were a bell ringer? That looks very difficult.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@windridge @kathiecb Thank you ladies, nice of you to comment. Kathie, bell ringing in a small church is just like pulling a piece of rope.

[Khawbecker]

Idyllic. So beautiful.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@khawbecker Thank you, it is very quiet.

[Kathie]

@ladymagpie Aren't their many ropes of different colours?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@kathiecb Thanks for your view Kathie, yes mine was red & white but because I ws very small I was only allowed ring the calling bell after the others did the peal.

[Margaret Pengelly]

A really beautiful scene and what a lovely little church tucked in there beside the canal.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@ubobohobo Thank you Margaret, it is right out of the way of any noise, nice and quiet.
