I like this building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Passed through Wisbang on the way to work. And after work I found another interesting church; St James, at Newton in the Isle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Spotted this rather tired looking church.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was passing it, and decided to stop and look. Sadly \u2018twas locked up. So, just exterior shots. I\u2019ll go back, some day, for a look inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A rather patchy exterior.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Chunky and clunky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A little sad looking, perhaps?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The whole structure looks rather neglected. And a little bit sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Even the sign is dilapidated!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I like this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No glass. Blocked up. Sad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Mossy memorial mausoleum?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are some nice old memorials. And the grounds are green and pleasant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Nice vegetation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Po\u2019 John, died just seven months old, back in \u201855\u2026 1855.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The view from behind the church.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Info\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m hoping someone can let me look around inside. There are issues with the structural safety of this poor old church. But I\u2019ve talked to someone, and they say it\u2019s do-able.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Coming apart at the seams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I\u2019d like to see this from the inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Likewise this \u2018un. Note weird blood red pane.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
\u2026 and this one, n\u2019 all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This church is unusual, in that it\u2019s so run down. It also puts into perspective how well looked after most of the churches I stop and look at are. Which is a rather nice thing to contemplate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I ever have a bob or two to spare, I\u2019d like to support the work of The Churches Conservation Trust. Here\u2019s hoping my finances will one day be healthy enough to do so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bootiful!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
