Interesting set and history Peter. I like the 3rd image with the splash of light on the flagstones. How wide a lens were you using?

Thank you Len

I was using a 15-30 zoom. All of these were taken at the wide end.

Enjoyed and learnt much from looking at all of them at your Flickr, thank you. I get much joy looking at your Churches and Trains - fantastic.

Nice set - perhaps the blue in the first one a wee bit too saturated for my taste, but it's a nice view.
If you like saxon churches do you know St Mary's church in Sompting, near Worthing. It has a fine rhenish helm.

Thanks David. It was a very sunny clear sky day. I did underexpose this one, but only by half a stop, and didn't add anything in saturation during PP

That church you mention looks stunning, and larger and more complete than the one here which has had many additions. I had to google "rhenish helm", an unusual roof design I had never seen before.

For any film buffs amongst you, the graveyard here was the setting for the burial scene in the recent wonderful but sad film "To Olivia", a film about a tragic time in the writer Roald Dahl's life.
