English Churches

A kaleidoscope of images from almost 60 different parish churches that I've visited on my travels! Though a non-conformist pastor, I love the architecture and some of the 'fittings' of Anglican churches, and hope that this series does the examples I've taken justice. If you like what you see, please leave a comment or two. Thanks for looking!

N.B. The newest images are at the top of the page and the earliest at the bottom.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed your website. We were looking for St. Thomas a Becket in Cadbury, and were pleasantly surprised to see you had a pic here. We are Americans in Paradise, Texas and visited your lovely island three times in the past and cannot get our fill of our heritage. Thank you for the lovely memories! Marsha and Ned Abernathy

Going by the skies in all of those shots, and by the light in many of them, you've put a huge amount of time into this. The results are worth it, though. This very much deserves a vote!

To Chris Spracken

I notice you have Tintinhull on this page. We have an old non conformist chapel attached to our house at Walters Farm Tintinhull but can find no details of it. Is there a record anywhere of non conformist chapels?
