Description

The little Victorianised greenstone church of St Wilfred, tastefully done up by Ewan Christian in 1890, sits amid a handful of houses in the tiny village of Thornton in Lincolnshire. The centre shot shows the Aumbry, a small recess to hold the sacred vessels. The shot below is the altar cross and candlesticks.

I have to agree with Sheila, there is something very cool about that middle photo. Must be that peeling paint as she said. But all are very beautiful!!! Have a great weekend #:o)

Interesting, that archetecture doesn't strike me as being over 100 years old and you'd think someone would straighten those poor grave stones. Great shots.
