I popped into Didcot on the Kingpin this afternoon, on the way home I passed my village church in Upton, Oxfordshire. I’ve no idea of the name of it.

Edit: St Mary’s The Virgin.

All Saints, Kirk Deighton in this morning's murk

Bit difficult to photo from this side, due to a narrow approach and lots of foliage.
I'll have to try from the main road side next time I'm up there.

The rather magnificent Ottery St Mary church. I know I shouldn't really find it amusing, but the church is, well, a sort-of copy-in-miniature of Exeter Cathedral, thanks to Bishop Grandisson in the 1330s. Again, Victorian restorers/vandals got to work on it in the 19th century ... "The interior was restored drastically mid C19 by Butterfield and others." The Victorians' prosperity was truly a double-edged sword: in stopping many of these historic churches from falling down, they obliterated much of the ancient history in their mindset of 'modernisation'.

Right in my area, and not one I know. Will make a detour at some point.

EDIT - haha, there are two Bickleighs in Devon. The one close to me is rather different:

A lovely day for a ride, and popped out to Chagford on my way to Newton Abbot - I lay no claim to the bikes or people to the left of the porch :

It's well worth going in the church if you do visit, BTW.
