It was worth walking 2 miles through the deer park in the pouring rain to see the stained glass windows, painted ceilings and walls, marble pillars amongst amazing gold leafed artwork and architecture. The solid brass door was a sight to behold.
I must apologise for the poor quality of the pictures. I did not have my tri-pod (always leave it at home!) and there was little light inside.

Oh how I love those stained glass windows. Aren't old churches so beautiful? You have so much beauty and charm near you. Someday I hope to return to England. I enjoyed my first trip and I know I would appreciate it even more now that I'm older.
This is lovely. Our Anglican church has beautiful stained glass windows. They are such a treasure in a church!
Beautiful my lovely friend.
Love you

Hi Barbara, I love the stained glass! It was seeing windows like that which made me want to learn how to make them myself. There hasn't been much time or need though in this house. I've only done the front door (one of my very early blog posts, so yes ages ago!). I love the painted ceiling too. I wish more Medieval church painting survived.
The preservation of the structures is just marvelous. I would doubt that you could find anyone to do that sort of work anymore. Your photos are always so beautiful and should be in books.
Thanks for the journey.
The colors in that stained glass...glorious! They probably showed up even better because of the rain...light may have washed them out. The angel hovering above each scene is lovely. Thank the Lord for His angels!
Your picture taking is still marvelous, Barabara, tripod or no.
I feel like I've been in a cathedral! What a lovely church. Does the Skelton church look exactly like it?
Hello Barbara......
What a beautiful Gothic style church and those windows are a sight to behold...... and I’m sure in real life they are even more amazing. The door was quite a surprise.... I wouldn’t care for the job of cleaning that expanse of brass though. I do love Yorkshire, particularly this part. Marion
