Church Interiors - an open thread.

[d00d]

I've always liked them but not done much in the way of photographing them. In the last week I've visited St Mary Abbots on Kensington High Street twice and aim to go back again soon. I currently have ten shots starting with the walkway leading up to the front door.

St. James Somerton - originally a Norman church (there is a building in the village, once used as a chapel that pre-dates the Norman conquest, but that is now a private home).




Detail from tomb.

Loving it! I'm truly inspired.

I took this back in 2016 for the TP weekly challenge: Ancient theme. Temple Church in London. The oldest part is round, pre-dating the Norman conquest.

Great thing about a Rollei is that it's designed to sit on the floor & let you take a picture from above.

Hi, St.Paul's, Birmingham/UK:

 

[Mag1cp2x]

Yes, with it's huge ancient yew by the gate.
I've visited most of the Churches within the South Downs National Park and hoping to revisit/photograph Coombes Church again next week.

Spent many hours there in my childhood, lovely old church isn't it
If you're up this way again you should try and get to Hardham Church with it's lovely wall paintings,
I really didn't do it justice

I've visited St Botolph Church in Hardham many times.
I nearly always stop there whenever I take that way home to Bognor Regis and when walking the nearby section of the old Roman Road.
Painted in the early 12th C by friars from Lewis Abbey.

Some glorious images, thanks guys

Here's one I took two weeks ago at Westminster Cathedral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Cathedral

 

[ancient_mariner]

I have rather a lot of local church images here that have never seen the light of day. Looks like I may have some processing ahead.

That's tough. I do have a few from Israel, but with a few exceptions they're not tremendously attractive.
