All Saints – Ripley

All Saints’ – Ripley, North Yorkshire.

Taken during a traditional walk to ‘blow away the cobwebs’ on New Year’s Day.  I didn’t venture inside on this occasion – trousers covered in mud (walking boots without gaiters, not a good idea!).

I hope to get to visit a few churches this year, after last years dismal showing.

Watching Loft

The Watching Loft in St. Alban’s Cathedral.  This is the only remaining loft in England.  It was used to allow monks to keep vigil on St. Alban’s Shrine.  St. Alban was England’s first saint.
