#Blakeney #church in #Norfolk.

The church is unusual as it has two towers, a main (15c) one to the west end and an older, smaller (13c) one at the east end that believed to be used as a beacon to guide ships into harbour when Blakeney was a significant sea port.

All Saints #church, #Morston, #Norfolk.

On the day Britain declared war on Germany in 1939 artist Sir #AlfredMunnings was doing a painting of this very church.

The red brick repair to the tower is due to repairs made after it was struck by lightning in 1743.

I find it quite sad to see a single, solitary @CWGC headstone in a churchyard. This one from #WW2 and the somewhat alliterative Trooper Tom Taberner (Life Guards), family at Barley Fields farm, Bell House Lane, #Anslow, #EastStaffordshire.

That she's thousands of miles away in China means we're already better off.

Might she just stay there permanently?

Always nice to find the latest GreatWarGroup edition in the postbox on a weekend.

Quick brew and settle in, methinks. I'll have the good fortune to get back to the battlefields again one day!

"Cemeteries are parks for the introverted." - Jim Tipton, Find A Grave

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ ... this!

I'm more than comfortable to label myself an introvert ... alongside being a teetotal, non-smoking atheist. I bet I'm fun at parties 😂

Interesting, spiral staircase built into a corner wall at #Rendlesham #church of St Gregory in #Suffolk; suspect this led up to an original (not to mention high up!) pulpit ...

Beautiful #Rendlesham church of St Gregory in #Suffolk, one of the more unusual I have visited in that its interior is painted a striking 'Suffolk pink'. Big thanks to @nicpandolfi.bsky.social for drawing this church to my attention in the first place!

Any #WW1 people know if there are photos of the @CWGC graves at #Plovdiv Central Cemetery in #Bulgaria? It's in preparation for Burton rugby club's annual poppy appeal and concerns remembering former player Frank Abbott Bailey who is buried at Plovdiv.

Thanks!

There's nothing quite like the quiet solitude of a lonely country #church, but at the same time there is the awe at the ages old majesty and grandeur of a breathtaking #cathedral ...

First week of #DryJanuary2024 done ... trying to beat my 2023 75-day streak and hit 100 days.

AI seems to be coming up with reasonable images re my abstinence - however, with the skull (where did THAT come from?) is it perhaps trying to tell me something?

Got the invite, decided to give it a whirl.

Any good?
