Fenny Drayton

We left the battlefield, heading west. The village of Fenny Drayton has no connection (that I know of) with the Wars of the Roses, but we made a detour because the name is so pretty and the sun was shining. We weren't disappointed.

Ah, the magnolia tree! 

And the local sandstone! Some of it pink , some of it green...

Gorgeous pictures! The spring sunshine really brings out the warmth of the different colours in the stone.

It is ususual - but beautiful - to see a flowering tree in a churchyard.

I love how the stone has weathered and mellowed. It's had time to do so; it's been in place for over 600 years.
