[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While out cycling this morning I came across this beautiful village church. Only had my little Ixus with me at the time.

"Built, probably in the 1190's, on a site donated by the Lord of the Manor, Nigel de Mowbray. The Church has undergone many alterations over the centuries, not least in the 19th century. Arches in the nave arcade and the West arch of the North chapel appear to be the oldest parts. The stained glass West Window was designed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and produced in the studio of William Morris in 1892."

Hi, Berto,
A very nice capture of the churchyard.
I like the sucession of walls and towers
Nice texture, too

Hallo Roberto!
This photo really was worth to stop by. There's a lot of atmosphere in this one - this church seems to be grown out of the ground. A venerable building ... shown in a wondeful light!
Greetings from warm and sunny Germany!

Ciao Roberto,
ottima visuale di questa chiesa, nitida e dettagliata. Hai fatto un ottimo lavoro a farla vedere nella sua interezza. Bei colori.
Grazie.
Gabriele.

I think,I have seen this place ...on TE :)
But no matter,I admire the stone texture of the walls.
Good POV
Hugs

Hi Roberto. Very nice perspective of this church. Nice colors and definition. Well done. Paulo

Hello Roberto,
This is a nice picture of a typically English church.
However, I would have left more space on the top of the church and maybe around as well by taking the picture from a bit further away. The church feels a bit cramped in the frame.
But it's a nice picture anyway.
