But if the newer buildings attract the young people, that's good I suppose. Still, I love the old stone churches & such. Good of you to share such pictures!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410643854313079157.post-39528895901348795212013-07-27T17:29:15.298+01:002013-07-27T17:29:15.298+01:00When we travel on the B-roads of Britain, the vill...When we travel on the B-roads of Britain, the village churches are always a source of history and quiet beauty. However Betjeman's "Best British Churches" has a title that's a bit overdone.

Not many of those left, methinks.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410643854313079157.post-17584735027787215782013-07-27T14:16:21.844+01:002013-07-27T14:16:21.844+01:00Beautiful little churches.

There's one at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Abbey" rel="nofollow">Dale Abbey</a> in central Derbyshire, where one branch of my family hails from, that is supposedly one of the smallest in the country, is attached to a farmhouse, and was once used as a pub.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410643854313079157.post-73977133627917398762013-07-23T22:49:23.434+01:002013-07-23T22:49:23.434+01:00Read this online and it made me laugh.

I think I'll ask that my funeral be said there - you could have "standing room only" with 31 people. <br /><br />Culbone church is reported to be the smallest in England, the chancel is 13'6" x 10', the nave 21'6" x 12'4". Total length 35ft. It seats about 30 in great discomfort. It nestles in a beautiful little valley about 2miles from Ashley Combe, Porlock Weir, Exmoor. <br />Helen Killeen Bauch McHarguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042488205276127209noreply@blogger.com
