Description

This is the Church of St Mary's in the little village of Church Fenton (Kirk Fenton) near Selby in North Yorkshire, I passed this on a ride on my motorbike yesterday and went back today to take a couple of photos, as you can see it was a clear blue sky though a little chilly. The church is Norman and was built in 1245 AD it is cruciform in architecture. You may notice at each corner of the tower there is a red light, this is because Church Fenton had a very active RAF station close by and it enabled the pilots to see the tower on their approach to the airfield. Many thanks for taking the time to look, Rob
