DAYS OUT: St Peter’s, Caxton

After Grounds Café I decided a little pre-work countryside pootle would be nice. And I wound up passing this church. I recall passing here before, whilst delivering, and wanting to stop, but not having the time.

So I stopped, on this occasion having ample time before my double shift. It’s a fairly ‘umble little church, overall. But it’s in a nice setting. And I love the main stained glass window, which has the same intense richness of colours as much of the Ely Cathedral ‘lights’. I wonder if they’re the work of the same crafts-folk?

How beautiful! I particularly love the details in the upper and lower ornamental areas.

It’s nice to read the dedication of this window to a local disciple and practitioner of the Hippocratic Arts.

In back of the graveyard…

The area behind the church is quite charming. And is connected to several pathways.

Wood pile and snowdrops.
Gnarly ol’ tree and Church.
Broken gate and ‘Narnia’ lamp.

So glad I stopped. I feel I need to understand better why old churches exert such a power of attraction for me. But for the time being I’m quite content to just enjoy the moment.
