Holy Decay

Back from holiday in Wales with a camera full of photos, a few decent photos to come, but thought I'd get my usual batch of church photos out first!

Llanthony priory on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. Around 900 years old, it's very impressive archetecture now hosts a campsite and (highly recommended) 13th century pub!


Cwmvoy Church dates from around the 12th century and is Britains most crooked church. Legend says it was built on the site a landslide caused by an earthquake at the time of Jesus's crucifiction. Unfortunately the landslide hadn't finished settling when the church was built and the church carried on sliding, causing it to become very wonky!


The Church of St Mary the Virgin at Tintern.

Don't mean to offend, do you ever sell your images? I really like Cmnvoy Church.

No offense at all, nice to know someone thinks my photos are worth buying! .. no, I never seem to get around to putting anything up for sale. Either printed or online. Maybe one day..
