I have a love of little English churches. 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.

I know the first shot is a bit of a cheat, as you can't actually see the church, but it's there, you know it is; and it's one of my all-time favourite pictures.

And this is another one of my all-time favs.

Lovely idea for a thread Sue.  But to have to choose from so many stunning pictures, oh dear!  OK, I'll try to restrain myself, lol, so here are a couple or three from my favourites file!!

So many choices!  We could indeed go on and on with this one.  But, I'll limit myself to 3 for now:

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!)

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!
