Description

High on the windswept heights of the East side of Whitby, St Mary's sits alongside Whitby Abbey. A 12th Century Church, it is said to be one of the most unusal Churches in the U.K. I took this shot on my lone wanderings on Saturday. Piet, I feel another lone wander coming on.... LOL! Have a wonderful day. Hugs. Diane.

A lovely church with her old cemetery from the xix century.. i like so much those things. In Spain almost all old cemeteries was disappeared and to us is a thing quite odd and some times marvellous.

Something very beautiful but eerie about this as time has erased all names from the stones and replace them with this wonderful patina. A perfect pov. Chocolate hugs:0)bonita

It is impressive that this church is still standing and in such wonderful condition. It is hard to read the words on the wind blown headstones. I love your wanderings. Dana
