St. Augustine, Brookland (Again)

Brookland

Here's a shot of the interior. The South aisle looking west. What you're seeing isn't a fish-eye distortion; the pillars really do lean like that. I assume it's because the foundations have shifted in the marshy soil.

This is wonderful! I adore old churches and never pass one up when we´re out driving. It´s especially nice in the summer when the main church in each town is open to the public. I´ve seen some absolutely amazing one in my 8 years in Sweden and also on our trips to France and England. We had a short visit to London and a bit outside (Castle Coombs, Bath for instance) and hit every church we could. I love that architecture.

Interesting slant on Bookland!

I'm crazy for old churches. More often than not they encapsulate the whole history of a community.
