St Hybald Church in Hibaldstowe in Lincolnshire,
Despite the long history of Christian worship in Hibaldstow, the present church is a comparatively modern building, dating from 1866 (chancel) and 1875 (nave), and the tower was rebuilt in the 1960s. still regularly used to date as a Church of England parish church,
Though not unknown in the States, the church-yard burial ground makes the history so personal, I think. The builders have done a nice job of tying together the colouration of this church...which is yet another thing I loved over there... Instead of tearing down and building new, the history is saved and cherished. Lovely, and a nice photo!
@Weezilou Thanks for your great comments Louise, there was an overflow grave yard across the road that was immaculately looked after'
In the UK its almost impossible to tear down old buildings like these most are listed building that must stay true to the original design, you have to go through lots of red tape (form filling and planning permissions) to do any alterations/building work over here:)
