Hi Phil

I really like all 3 if these shots - however #1&3 - the light and pop of the church gives thema special eel (mood) to them

Thanks for posting - made me want to do the same type project in my area

Nice shots pledwith, the mono really suits them. I'll have to have a look at these places myself when I'm out and about. Have you posted the full set anywhere?

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I have had them made in to a set of books, for myself, family and friends, but you can look at them on my website at www.paledwith.co.uk.

Very nice.

Do you by chance have one of the Holy Rood in Wool?

We lived about 200 yards from it for a year back in the Early 80s. I know I have some nice slides of it but we have just started our slide digitizing project and haven't got to those yet. The attached are ones from a trip back about 5 years ago with a little digital but would like a better one.

(We lived up this road about 200 yards. It is called Quarr Hill and the house we rented for the year was "The Plantation". There is a wonderful Thatched cottage at the start of the hill. The owners invited us in for tea when we visited 5 yrs ago and we had a wonderful time.)

The way to it...not the most obvious...

Interesting project and love that they are in B&W, as said before, it seems apropos. I was amazed at the dates on many of the tombstones when we visited--such history, most before anyone ever ventured across the Atlantic.. We can only go back a few hundred years here.
