Another two-church day. Another good<\/em> day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Faiths.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First church of the day was St Faiths of Aquitaine, Wilthorpe. A rather unusual little church, in a tiny little village. Perhaps it\u2019s even just a hamlet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather classical Adams type porch\/entrance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Graffiti on the walls inside the entrance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you look carefully, you might spot \u2018E C 1774\u2019, above. That\u2019s 250 years ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of very beautiful organic carved stone corbels: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a few churches I\u2019ve been into recently, this one has a room above the entrance. This time, however, I was<\/em> able to access the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View over the church, from above.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A great little church. Like so many, a bit different, with a character all of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last time St Michael\u2019s was shut.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The second church, St Michael & the Angels, is one I\u2019ve been to before. But on the previous occasion \u2018twas shut. Today it was not just open. They had a tea n\u2019 coffee morning on as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of plain glass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nice roof.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The lone stained glass, is in the vestry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nice old chest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A little niche.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nice bit of paving.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Weathering and wooden details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s some interesting trickle effect weathering, noticeable on the arches. Less discernible in my snaps, but striking when you\u2019re there, are the sculpted wooden figures at the bases of the supporting roof arches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Weirdness!?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what\u2019s going on up here? A pipe leads into a small boxed off area. Note how the utilitarian is still given decorative aspects, with the various shapes at the bottom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
