After Megaplants, I felt the need for a fix of ecclesiastical architecture. I wanted to take Teresa somewhere like West Walpole, or Walpole St Peter’s. But she didn’t want to travel that far.
So we – or rather I – checked out the church in Doddington, as we were there already. It’s in a lovely setting. As the following photos, I hope, bear witness. But the church itself was locked. Bummer!
Nonetheless, a quiet and leisurely walk around the church and graveyard was very pleasant. And yielded plenty of lovely pictures.
I feel obliged to give one particularly handsome monument its own mini-gallery:
I feel inclined to utilise the stylised leaf design at home, somehow. A cornice or coving stencil pattern, perhaps?
And to finish, the view on returning to the car, and casting one last backward glance.
Another for the ‘must return and view inside the church’ list.
