St Mark's in the rain


I last featured the church of St Mark's, Bredbury and Woodley in June 2014. This time it was raining heavily and I got raindrops on the lens as I photographed the lych gate.


I used the shelter of the lych gate to photograph the church. St Mark's is a Grade II listed building which was built 1847-8 by Shellard for the Church Commissioners with dressed stone, ashlar and slate roofs.

Visit the Church website for details of its current activities.

  5. The church and the gate are both beautiful! That gate would be ideal for a theme day later in the year dealing with the term Shelter.

  12. I like the lynch gate a very impressive one, the walkway to the Church lined with anceint graves is interesting and sort of Alfred Hitchcock like.
