Is it a barn or a church? St Anthony’s, Cartmel Fell. Built as a chapel of ease for Cartmel Priory in 1504. The priory is a decent hike away so the residents of the fell would have been grateful.

St John, the evangelist, Levens. Built in 1826 and linked to the Catholic owners of Levens Hall. Not quite Georgian, not quite Gothic. First gold Eco Church in the country apparently.

Another local church today, St Swithuns in Leonard Stanley, with major parts dating back to the 12 century it is an interesting building, most legible graves are from 17 century onwards including some military ones.

Photos taken on the 2002 Sony FD200 camera, the last of the Mavica range to have floppy disc storage it also sports a memory card slot. Images were 1600 x 1200 but I have reduced them to 800 X 600 for a better fit!

Wayfarer in front St. Gallus Lutheran Church, Aistaig, on the edge of the Black Forest...

Surprisingly brutalist Catholic Church in Aistaig, Black Forest. The Tower is some distance from the church itself.

St Cyr's church Stonehouse, a church has existed on this site since the 11th century, the oldest surviving part is the tower that dates from 15th century although it is claimed there is a Norman arch in the north wall which would date from the 11th century.

It seemed mischievious to ride Mr Evil the MTB to at least one church so here he is, a bit of Evil in the churchyard - fortunately he didn't get struck by a thunderbolt!
