St Mary's Church ~ Lover

What a lovely church ans so well captured Rosa.

Thank you Jaap. We were grave hunting!

Very nice indeed Rosa. One for the HFF perhaps?
Well captured, Herb

We made a special trip to Lover and Downton Herb and one location gave us some beautiful scenery with fences as a bonus...I will keep them for Friday ;-))
Thanks for your kind comments....Rosa.

Pretty little chapel and I really like this plant portal!******

Thank you very much Nouchet.

I love kissing gates :~) There used to a Lover car rally ~ wonder if it still runs? ~ Nice shots Rosa

I don't know about that Nick, but they used to have a Post Office where people would go to get their Valentine cards franked from Lover. Cheers, Rosa.

A very nice little church Rosa.

Thank you Jeff.

Grand looking church Rosalyn, but forgive me for saying the ivy growth up the building reminds me of the old video game "Space invaders".

I don't know anything about video games Maurice, so I will take your word for that :-))

A lovely little church. The ivy growing up the front really appeals to me.

Thank you Jean. The ivy appeals to me too.

Nice images Rosalyn were you able to go inside, I have just read the comment by Jean an example of how we are attracted to different things, I was thinking that ivy needs to be removed :))

I'm with Jean on that one Peter. I think it adds something to imposing late Gothic porch. I do wonder how much damage it's doing though. It looks like they keep it under control. Yes we did go inside and found a grave outside with my maiden name of Dear. Will have to investigate that!

If the stone work is in good condition no harm, but if the joints are bad quite a bit of damage, if you take it off it takes ages to get rid of the marks

Nice shot of this lovely old church, Rosa..... Interesting name... Great PiP.

Thank you John. It is apparently pronounced as in "Dover".

A beautiful chapel !

Thank you Pam.

Smashing pair of images from this unusual looking church Rosa. A very impressive light on the gate showing the way for the faithful.

Best regards, Doug

Thank you very much Doug. I was a little disappointed to find out that Lover was pronounced as in Dover! It seems to be a very well attended church from what we found inside.

best regards, Rosa.

This looks a pretty little church, the overgrown porch is really special!
