The tower of old St Matthews Church Light Cliffe, its all that remains of the church built in 1713, it was replaced by a much larger church in the village just along the road, the main church was demolished as it was unsafe in 1973, the tower was saved from demolition by friends of the church who still take care it and the grounds today.
@louannwarren Thank you for both your comment and fav Lou Ann, its still possible to be buried in this cemetery at the far end behind my location, but there are only a handful of graves from the year 2000:)
A terrific perspective. You've captured the loneliness, the feeling of abandonment perfectly. Kudos to the good folks who rallied to save this obviously special place.
@onewing Thank you for your comment Babs, I understand most of the church was damaged by fire many years ago and was deemed unsafe hence its demolition in 1973:)
