And to end the day, Saint Mary the Virgin, Fretherne. The mini-cathedral of the Severn Vale.

Victorian rebuild, brilliantly coloured inside, in what I assume is the High Anglican style of the time.
The organ, & the font.

As a Lenten memento mori, we have some medieval tomb covers, with card explaining the hazards of life in the vale.

Roberton Church - so much cooler than we realised at the time.
According to Wikipedia;
"Historically it was an Established Church of Scotland. It merged with Wiston in 1772, and became a United Presbyterian Church in 1847. In 1843 a Free Church was established that dwindled, ultimately belonging to the Presbytery of Jedburgh by 1880.
In the mid 1990s the church was purchased by musician John Martyn, who converted it into a recording studio, and recorded his 1998 album 'The Church With One Bell' there. Before buying the church, Martyn was living in an adjoining cottage."

St James, Clapham. Another 19th century renovation but 15th century tower apparently.
