This is the cathedral in Exeter. I would have liked to photograph it from the front but from that angle the sun was directly behind it and not a good photo did it make.

Came out rather well so thought I'd try and get away with posting it here as well.

Wednesday's ride was planned on the route, not on features, so it was a major surprise to come acros not one, but two round tower churches - both being named after St, Mary!
1) Rickinghall

2) Brome

St Peter's Chapel in Gayhurst

St Augustine of Canterbury Church was originally built in the 13th C and the font and the nave with its arcading and carved heads adorning the pillars date from then. One of the heads is said to represent Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Also from the 13th C is the wooden lectern based on a crusader’s foot, treading on a three-headed dragon, symbolising the triumph of good over evil.
