Gothic
Not enjoying these shorter days, but the autumnal skies are pretty impressive. Image of the Week #61

Up high
Taking advantage of the scaffolding that is in place for the roof repairs we are having done at the moment, I was able to capture this unusual view. Note the new pointing (lime!) – its all getting fixed up slowly! Image of the Week #58

Nestling in the trees…
One of our favourite foraging haunts, the field behind the church. Today looking for blackberries and sloes. And one of our favourite views of the church… Image of the Week #53

A year of Image of the Week!
It has been a whole year that we’ve been taking an ‘Image of the Week’. It’s been a wonderful process, photographing something which catches our eye in or around the church each week. Some weeks the image jumps out at me, and I’m well prepared come Sunday when I aim to post them. Others however remain hidden to me until…

Vaulted ceiling
Visitors to the church often comment on the vaulted ceiling of the apse end of the church. It really is quite something and one of the reasons why the building has a Grade II* listing. I love the colour and patterning in the brickwork. Image of the week #52

Quarry view
During the wonderful weather this week, we’ve been exploring the hills and meadows around Welshpool, including going up through Bron-y-Buckley Woods and across the fields to the top of the old quarry. It was funny to be standing on the very hill that the stone came from to build the church, whilst looking at it. Image of the Week #45

Under the Yew tree
Under the Yew tree in the churchyard is this ‘hidden’ gravestone. Beautiful in the shaded undergrowth. Fred was with me and asked to have the camera to take this photo… …as he liked the way the Yew tree framed the view of the church. A budding young photographer! Images of the Week #43
