Another 17th Century Gravestone From Colne.



Unfortunately broken- but the carving is even more spectacular. 

Here it is in situ.....



And here- to complete the picture- is the church.

Those are so beautiful. I like the shine of rain on them.

I really like that middle photo with the light shining on the rain wet gravestones.

I love reflections.

These are great! I love the peripatetic decrepit-churches-of-England tour!

Plenty more to come.

I'm off to Somerset at the beginning of next week.

What a beautiful place! Is it usual for the stones to be lying down over the grave rather than standing upright?

It's normal in Lancashire. I don't know why.

Your photographs (todays and yesterdays) are so evocative - so beautiful. Thank you for letting us share your trips with you.

I'm glad you're enjoying them.

We're off to the West Country in a few days time...

I look forward to your reports and pictures.
Bon Voyage!

That's right- a couple of nights in a cheap hotel outside Glastonbury.
