The Guild Church of St Margaret Pattens, London. Destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, the present church was built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1687. It is one of only a few City churches to have escaped significant damage in the Second World War.

St Andrew, Farnham, Surrey. The oldest parts of the building date from the middle to the late 12th century, between 1150 and 1170.

This was always locked when I visited. It seems I missed out!

All Hallows Staining, City of London. All that remains of the church is the tower, built around AD 1320 as part of the second church on the site. The tower is maintained by the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers, one of the livery companies of the City of London.

Some of the fabulous kneelers All Saints' Steep - designed so it doesn’t matter which way up they are. Snails, foxes, moles and hedgehogs

St Michael’s, Chirbury, Shropshire. The current building largely dates to the late C12 with the tower constructed around 1300, and a short chancel added in 1733. Restored in 1871–72 by Edward Haycock junior. Very close to the Welsh border.

Capel Ebeneser, Tywyn, Merionethshire, Wales. 1882.

Bayeux Cathedral, France. The present cathedral was consecrated on 14 July 1077 in the presence of William, Duke of Normandy. It was on this site that William may have forced Harold Godwinson to take an oath of support to him, the breaking of which led to the Norman Conquest.

Église Saint-Blaise et Saint-Martin, Cadillac sur Garonne, France.

Holy Trinity, Wareside, Hertfordshire. Holy Trinity Church was built in the Lombardic style in 1841 by Thomas Smith and has been G2L since 1967.

Apologies to those who only want English churches, but I went to Wales: Tywyn stained glass. The first is by Geoffrey Webb (1879-1954) and dates to 1943. You can see the spiders web maker’s mark in the bottom right corner.

St Mary the Virgin, Upwaltham, West Sussex. Built by the Normans early in the C12, perhaps c1120, and little altered since. A south porch was added after the south doorway was rebuilt in the C14, and has been renewed at least once since, the last time in the 19th century.

Squints in the columns, something I can’t recall seeing before. Dolgellau RC church, Wales. #hagioscope

St Giles Cripplegate. One of the few remaining medieval churches in the City of London and, after surviving devastating bombing during the Blitz, it sits at the heart of the modern Barbican development. Pic 1 has a brutalist tower, Perpendicular Gothic Church and a Roman Wall!
