Anyway the internet wouldn't connect in my room but does in the bar. Scrabble updates will be rarish and apologies if I don't keep up to date with blogs.
I started off with a trip to see Ashmanworth church - locked !! BUT just as I was going a chap turned up with a key so
665 Ashmanworth, St James
The next target was
666 Aldworth, St Mary with its fine, if battered, collection of De La Beche tombs.
Thought Jane at urbanextension would like this.
And so to Basildon Park for a cup of tea and a slice of chocolate cake. Yes I know I shouldn't but hey! It was used in the 2007 film of Pride & Prejudice as Mr Bingley's Nethefield.
And so to our last church the redundant but tranquil St Thomas, East Shefford 667

What neat churches you have there. The tombs, if that's what they're called, absolutely fascinate me. And Bleeding hearts in bloom already! Wow! Great pictures all.
That's a fascinating tree outside St. Mary's Church - is there a story attached to it?
How sad that such a pretty little church such as St. Thomas's is no longer in use.
And a claim to having seen/been on a Jane Austen set :)
Fabulous! (as usual) Somebody has to put the sun up in England :o/
Mary - the frustrating thing is that all week its been sunny!! sob!
Tricia - call me Mr Darcy - LOL
OC - important people got buried close to the altar - think they thought it meant they were closer to heaven or got better treatment at the resurrection
Can I call you Fitzwilliam or do I have to call you Mr Darcy? LOL LOL
Beautiful pictures - as usual - Pete.
Thanks Pete. I did appreciate it. Was it a Yew? Very fragmented old thing. Liked the other pics you've had of trees in your other blog posts as well. Some lovely oaks and beeches (?) I need to get out and find some new ones myself. Thanks again. Jane
