St Mary Magdalene, Tortington
A miscellany of churches I have visited and enjoyed around the UK. It's a work in progress, so bear with me if I've not visited your part of the country yet...
Welcome!
Around British Churches describes some of the churches I have visited and enjoyed around the UK. The selection is a little biased towards the south of the UK (where I live), but I aim to widen it over time.
I hope, through the site, to encourage more people to visit such churches - whether for spiritual reasons, as a tourist, or out of sheer curiosity. They represent an astonishing social, historical and spiritual legacy, and one we should not take for granted.
My own interest in churches was fostered by my parents. We spent many summer evenings when I was a child, visiting churches around my native Somerset, researching our family tree. We found very little - most of my ancestors were too poor to have marked graves - but it left me with a lifelong interest. There's nothing quite like opening a heavy wooden door for the first time, and wondering what you'll find inside...
I hope you enjoy the site.
