St Peter, Little Warley

Click on the 'play' symbol in the second image to see all my photographs of this church as a slide show, then click on any image in the slideshow to see it large in a new page. Alternatively, if you don't have flash enabled, you can go straight to the set for this church on flickr. I had been looking forward to coming here on the Ride and Stride event, and cycled eight miles out of my way to visit it, only to find it locked without a keyholder notice, and not taking part in the event. I hope they never have the gall to apply for a grant. This was the real low point of the day. An utterly depressing location, cut off from its parish by the A127. Red brick, small, neglected, with a view of one of the county's most important 16th Century memorials through the window. Not in safe hands. A dog barking from the neighbouring ranch-style house, the roar of traffic from the dual carriageway. Rain falling heavily. This was the point at which I wondered - what the f*** am I doing here? Fortunately, the next church, Great Warley, would more than make up for this utterly dismal place. Simon Knott, September 2013
