DAYS OUT: St Peter’s, Outwell

On a gray day.

I’ve stopped and snapped the exterior of this church before. But in that occasion I merely rued the fact it was locked. Today I rang the Rev, and she told me the keys were left in the care of the Spar, next door.

I love this little columnular doodaddery.

Keys in hand, I had a look around, inside. What follows are the pictures I took therein.

Vaulted porch roof.
Porch window.
Let me in!
Font and flagstones.
Strange windows…
… with nought but red ‘accents’.
Fab’ Angel carving roof beams.
View down the nave.
Interesting chest #1.
Interesting chest #2.
Roof carving detail.
More roof carving detail.
Looking back into the church, from the wings.
Another weird window. Orange this time!
Messed-up remains of former glories?
Rich folk’s pious vanities…
… embodied in stone.
Seat beneath Saint?
Back to gazing heavenwards…
… and here’s why!
Weird windows continued.
The biggest remainder of what once might’ve been…
On the way out.
Outside, signs of Spring.

Very nice. A balm to the soul.
