My wife and I are church nerds. We love visiting old churches in particular. Over the last few days we have seen a few. One was located at Wharram Percy which is the site of a deserted medieval village but the ruins of the church still exist. This church is particularly interesting because it shows evidence of 12 distinct phases starting with a timber church in the 900s through to a stone church that was last used in the 1800s long after the village had been deserted.
These changes, indicating the growth and the decline of church numbers, are reflected in the stone work.
One of the other churches we visited was at Beverley – the largest parish church in England. It has all the hallmarks of a Cathedral but it is not the seat of a bishop. It is quite a magnificent building and showed signs vigorous use as a church – which is not always the case.

That last one is of the lid of the baptismal font. It was hanging precariously over the stone font, and could be lowered with the gentlest touch.
Some beautiful shots – thanks for sharing them
Some many people back and today have such creative minds. To create something that big and that beautiful is amazing
