please sign my guestbook and leave feedback recent additions hardham (sussex) selham (sussex) thorpe salvin (yorkshire) a dollop of devon cream (6 churches) long melford (suffolk) the stonemasons and their world grasmere (cumbria) north cadbury (somerset) whose is this site? welcome to my website. my name is lionel wall. i am a retired manager and i now live in kings cliffe in northamptonshire. it’s a picturesque limestone village that was once the location of a hunting lodge built by king john in rockingham forest. i have been interested in mediaeval churches for many years and this site is my “labour of love”. my partner is diana who is now firmly hooked on church visiting! i should point out, to avoid any misunderstanding, that neither of us has any religious belief. as you would expect, however, we have the greatest respect for those that believe and stand in awe of the faith that gave rise to this most wonderful collection of architectural treasures. a note about navigating this site the site is mostly organised into counties through the vertical menu bar at the left. the homepage is the topmost item: great english churches. when you navigate to another page (for example an individual church) the menu bar will often be incomplete. this is due to a frustrating issue with the website software i use. to see the entire menu bar it is always best to go back to the homepage. contact me my email address is [email protected] i’m always happy to correspond. guestbook please spare a few seconds to leave a comment. i don’t receive any revenue from this website and your feedback is what keeps me motivated! re-use of photographs if you wish to use any of my photographs please email me for permission - which to date i have never refused. if yours is a commercial purpose i might ask you to make a small donation to the churches conservation trust. what is the site about? at the selfish level it is a record of our own travels and the places we have enjoyed best. it also keeps me out of mischief in my retirement! more importantly, however, it is a celebration of the incredible diversity, eccentricity and beauty of the english parish church. i am fond of saying that it is our good fortune that the british museum is not able to chisel out and miniaturise the best of our churches so that they can squirrel them away in some vault under bloomsbury. for the english parish church is the enduring and timeless mirror of our local history. it is where our people were baptised, married and buried. our churches have seen famine, pestilence, plague and war. they bear witness to the fashions, intolerances, the benevolence and occasional downright cruelties of the christian faith. they still stand today as the immovable timeless rocks around which the waves of history crash, waiting for the next turn of the card - or for the next mysterious way in which god will perform his wonders, depending on your point of view. they are, even in these irreverent times, part of the heartbeat of our communities. i am often saddened when i visit a church to see other visitors come in, do a perfunctory five minute tour of the church and then leave a banal entry in the visitor's book like "beautiful" or "peaceful"! many people look at everything and see nothing and i think it's a great shame. people do find churches beautiful and they must have some interest to enter in the first place. how much more enriching their visits would be, however, if they could understand what is exceptional, what is everyday; what is ancient, what is modern; and the historical context of what they see. there are plenty of books that fulfil that need admirably but it needs a conscious effort to purchase. my ambition is that casual visitors to my site will be inspired by what they find out and be motivated to find out still more and to visit churches with eyes wide open. our parish churches are our greatest historical heritage - and they are free to visit. they need your support. get out there, buy their guidebooks and postcards and put a few bob in the wall safe. my book is now sold out! my book - “demon carvers and mooning men” is about what i believe to be a “school” of external church carving within my part of the east midlands. the research is original and focuses on a group of twenty or so churches where i believe an itinerant guild of stonemasons left some indelible marks of their presence, the main one being the inimitable and very rude “mooning man” image. it is now sold out but you can see a synopsis here . get the late mary curtis webb’s “ ideas and images in twelfth century sculpture” free on this site. you will see many references to this extraordinary piece of unpublished scholarship on this site. with the permission of mary’s daughter i have made the entire book available to read on this site or to download free of charge. if you thought norman carvers just created pretty designs and tymapana then this book will blow your socks off! to read or download it please follow this link where you will also be able to read my summary of her work as well as my own slant on it and see a few related “discoveries” of my own. choice of churches on this site what you see here is about 20% of the churches i have visited, so it is a personal selection based on the things that excite me. there is a definite bias to anglo-saxon and norman churches and artefacts - especially norman fonts which i adore! i love carvings in stone or wood too. although i visit them, i don't write about many "great churches" such as abbeys and priories and i don't write about cathedrals at all. they are huge subjects and i can't add anything that hasn't been covered by the published literature. you don't need me to point you towards them. most entries are arranged by counties. i apologise if your county is omitted or under-represented. i do have other interests and i can't get everywhere! lionel diana topics, discussions and rants there are all sorts of church-related issues mentioned on these pages and sometimes i do like to digress into all sorts of barely-related areas. please click here to see an alphabetical issue index of topics and discussions. the text and photographs all text and photographs are my own unless otherwise stated. i do draw heavily on church guidebooks which vary remarkably in scope and quality. where i use their material and insights directly i usually acknowledge it. writers of church guides are unsung heroes who often dedicate years to researching their subjects. we all owe them a huge debt. i try not to make this site a dry regurgitation of other people's research. i speculate freely about why things are as they are and i often challenge the accepted "stories", even those that have their origins in the research of the sainted nikolaus pevsner! my apologies to anyone who feels affronted by this. photography in churches is not straightforward. lighting is notoriously difficult in what are very big and open buildings. my advice is to use a camera that has good low light capability and to try to avoid using flash for close-ups of, for example, fonts and arcade capitals. flash will completely wash out the detail. these days when we don't have to worry about film i would recommend taking some important pictures with and without flash. often you will find that an under-exposed shot without flash can be manipulated in photoshop or its like to make a much better picture than an accurately exposed shot that used flash. of course, you will need a steady hand for slow exposures! technical issues with this site i compose this site in wysiwyg program called netobjects fusion. there is a free downloadable version that i would recommend to anyone who doesn't want to learn to write html code. what happens, in effect, is that you compose in a desktop publishing type format and the program itself generates the html code necessary for web publishing. it would be nearly impossible for an individual to produce a site as big as this in
