Definitely a little something of Gondor about the Malvern Hills. Tolkien was of course a regular visitor to the hills along with pals CS Lewis & George Storey.

Parish Church of the Holy Cross, Crediton, Devon. Mainly C15 with some C12 features. Once the site of a Saxon monastery and early cathedral before this was moved to Exeter. One of my navy chaplain ancestors was Rector here in the C18. #steeplesaturday

Incredibly well preserved effigy of a Benedictine monk dating from the mid C15. Found under the floor of the church during Victorian restorations. St Michael & All Angels, Ledbury, Herefordshire. #tombtuesday

St Michael & All Angels, Ledbury, Herefordshire. For Pevsner, the ‘premier’ parish church of the county. He states that it was Norman in origin, extensively remodelled at the end of the C13, but that “the evidence in the place is, however, disturbed.” #steeplesaturday

Part of 43-49 St John’s Worcester. Part of the building dates back to c1475-1525 with later alterations. Was a whisker away from demolition in the 70s. Saved by the work of the St John in Bedwardine Action Group and FWB Charles. #windowsonwednesday Historic England
