DAYS OUT/CHURCHES: Holy Trinity, Haddenham

Beautifully framed by foliage.
Holy Trinity.

The first two pics in this post were amongst the last I took, as I walked ‘round the church, looking to find a full and unobstructed view of the whole building.

That wasn’t possible, as Holy Trinity is surrounded by mature trees. They give the whole setting a very bucolic charm. But prevent one from seeing the church structure in its entirety.

The view as I arrived.

Entrance was gained via the northern porch. And to my surprise Holy Trinity was open. Not exactly sure why? But I expected it to be shut!

We were in Haddenham to pick up a cheap (£10!) parasol, for our garden. It was a bit broken. But fixable. So we bought it. I now need to repair it, so it doesn’t break the first time we put it up (as happened with the last cheap parasol!).

Here are some pics from Holy Trinity:

The font is very interesting. I love the four animals/mythical beasts, around the base. And throughout the church there are some nice bits of stone carving.

There are some nice windows. Even the plain glass o Ed are nice enough. The stained glass isn’t mind blowing, but it’s pretty decent.

The roof is impressively beefy in construction. The organ pipes are very nicely decorated. All in all a very pleasant place to stop and have a quiet moment.

Can you spot the li’l critter?
Merrick House, Haddenham.

Tim and Hannah’s old home, Merrick House. Lots of memories! All good. And now they’re back together again. Ain’t it a strange ol’ world!?

Beautiful lilac/lavender coloured fields.
