Another Grave Experience.

A dark and mysterious church named St. James the Great has stood in the village of Saul, Gloucestershire since 1140, one of the oldest churches in the Severnside parishes.

I had just completed a geocache nearby and was stood watching the ravens flying in and out of the bell tower. With those very old leaning gravestones, I would imagine a evening spent here in the darkness could be very mysterious, especially on April 1st.
