DAYS OUT/CHURCHES: St Mary Magdalene, Roxton

Viewed from the rear.

Another church for the collection. Initially giving off vibes of a fairly run of the mill place, with not a great deal of particular interest.

The approach modes the church behind many mature trees. So there’s a nice ‘reveal’, as the building gives into view. The entrance is via a rather humble doorway (third pic in the gallery below).

As usual, with these old Anglican churches, if you look carefully, something – often many things – will reveal itself. In this case, it’s the panel paintings below. Sadly they’ve been effaced, literally. Vandalised by someone, possibly of a vengeful Puritannical bent?

I then walked around the back of the church, which is nicely situated in a very beautiful mature tree populated setting.

Not a superstar church. But worth a visit nonetheless.
