Today's Church - St John the Baptist, Fishponds Bottom

South elevation has been rendered and limewashed, it's this side that gets most of the weather.

The stained glass windows are gorgeous!! (Just above them, is that the bell pull?)

Love this one Zigs! 13th century?

Maybe later.

Unusual in not having a south porch door and only a north door.

But understandable as it would have caught all the weather.

Usual practice in funerals is to bring the corpse in thru the south door and then leave the north door open so that the devil goes straight out of the church if he'm following the corpse....

You can't be too careful. Love this one, it looks much smaller than the others?

You can't Another church I worked on had the north porch converted into a toilet, devil will run straight into the loo there

It is much smaller, people in the village are all very short.
