Your Bike in front of a Church

[briantrumpet]

Ooh, a little gem today. Ignore the crass render, and enjoy the clutter of a church that escaped the Victorians' slegehammers (or what they termed 'restoration'). Gittisham in East Devon... yes, the Victorians did do bits & pieces here, but they didn't try to 'unify' the various features, so there are 18th-century mullions in some of the windows, wonky walls, 18th-century pews and gallery, different-shaped arches, etc. Well worth a visit. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1097994

All Saints, Downhead, Somerset during yesterdays glorious weather

Not a great photo of the bike, but it's my Giant TCR, it was my first carbon bike, bought 14 years ago and still going strong! It still makes me smile every time I get on it.

Our village Church, Evercreech, Somerset:

Did you notice:

Legend has it that the farmer who paid for the clock wanted it to be like that as he told his wife he would leave the pub when the church clock said it was 10 O'clock
