Picnic lunch in the car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had a picnic lunch, in the car, sat outside St Wendreda\u2019s, today. Brie, baguette, cream of tomato soup, coffee, etc. Simple pleasures! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no trip to York to watch The Sealed Knot re-enacting Marston Moor, alas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa was, as ever, overjoyed that I was taking snaps. Oh, well. Can\u2019t win \u2018em all, I guess?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a very pleasant lunch, only slightly totally ruined by the spirit of \u2018bonhomie\u2019, I decided I\u2019d go and take another look at St Wendreda\u2019s famed angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are all the gravestones?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026 what\u2019s with the scattered funerary monuments? And where are all the usual graves\/gravestones? Some of the stones are on the periphery of the church site. It looks and feels like they\u2019ve been moved. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And across a road at the back of the church, there\u2019s a more normal looking graveyard. I\u2019ll have to go check that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having walked around the church, and pondered the absence of graves, or at least gravestones, we reached the entrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once under the arch, and through the porch, into the church we go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth re-visiting these churches, I\u2019m discovering. Often you\u2019ll see something you missed before. Or else you can just just concentrate on one aspect of the place, with that little more time\/interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The obligatory old chest, and old chair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ok, here cum the money shots\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided to lay down, on my back, in the middle of the church, to take most (but not all) of these shots. Really I need a much better camera, that can really zoom in. But I\u2019ve tried to do my best, with what I have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
