The ones you find dotted all across our beautiful land, hidden behind Yew trees, up little lanes, sat in fields. I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to the English church. Picture by Dmitry Lapa

Oh, wow, Sue, where to begin? For most of us foreigners, Big Ben is the traditional symbol of England in most people's minds, but after haning around here, I can honestly say that for me, it's the little stone churches in every village. And until I visited over there, I'd no idea that they were so ancient. I figured they were maybe 100 or 200 years old, but many go back to really ancient days. Here's one I took in Kirk Hammerton, North Yorkshire, which goes back to Norman times (800-900 years!) Picture by Ruth Gregory
And this one in County Durham also dates from the same period, and the Normans who built it used stones from an old Roman fort! Picture by Jack Turton
