The Church Beneath the Branches

I thought I would change to a pretty capture today, I can't be stupid all of the time, (Oh yes I can). This is the church on the edge of my village, known as All Saints Church in Selsley and is an early work by the important church architect G F Bodey.

The most important thing in this church are the stained glass windows by William Morris. It was built between 1861 - 1862 and paid for by a mill owner Samuel Marling who lived at Stanley Park House next door.

I've taken captures of this build before, designed in a South Tyrol style from near the spring, but to get this view I had to lean over the churchyard wall and beneath the trees. Note that as Christian burials go from west to east.

Sorry if I've been to serious with this capture but thought it deserved it.

Keep smiling.
Beautiful church scene, nicely framed by the branches. Love the hill with the village in the background.
