St Nicholas's Church ~ Moreton

I love those etched windows, Rosa. This must be one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen too.

I was blown away by the windows and the church Amelia. I am taking Michelle there sometime this year, so will get more pictures.

What a beautiful little church.
A nice series of images Rosa.

Thank you very much Jaap.

Certainly is a lovely Church Rosa, have lingered for ages looking at all the photo's.... One day!

Best wishes.... John.

That's nice to hear John. I didn't really want to drag myself away from the place. There were many more engraved windows than I have shown and all so beautiful.

Best wishes, Rosa.

I've been meaning to visit this wonderful church to see the engravings but not succeeded so far. Thus it is a real pleasure to see your crystal clear images ~ Thank you ~ All the best ~ Nick

I took my Dorset Churches book of the shelf this morning and it was that which reminded me of this place. I am definitely going to visit again this year. I hope you do someday visit it Nick.
All the best ~ Rosa.

Amazing small world Rosalyn, I have a small water colour given to me by my landlord dated 1929 of a desert scene and the pyramids, How my landlord came by the painting I don't know but I remember when the film "Lawrence of Arabia" was released I went to see the film with him who later revealed that he was one of Lawrence's bodyguards during the Arab uprising.

It really is a small world Maurice. What an interesting story. I cannot understand why I didn't take a photo of Lawrence's grave. I will do that the next time I visit, which I hope will be quite soon.

Fine series, Rosa ! Very well presented with impressive details !

Thank you Ulrich. I appreciate your kind comments.

WOW, a marvelous series of picture of the exterior and interior of this pretty church !!!!!!

Thank you so much Marie-claire. I think it is one of the best I have seen in this country.

What a lovely place Rosa, your shots of this Church are so beautiful, I soooo love Stained Glass windows, and these are fantastic Rosa. great job sharing these..!!!
Best wishes, Sarah

Thank you so much Sarah. The windows really did take my breath away, especially with the sunlight shining through and it's a very light church due to all the windows.
Best wishes, Rosa.

How lovely! I don't think I've ever seen a church with engraved windows like this one.

This image is very well composed and I like that you've used the gravestones as foreground interest. The stonework is a gorgeous colour and I really like the shape of the roof and tower! Beautifully captured Rosa.

The interior details in the PiPs are magnificent..........you've exposed the shots perfectly. I particular like the last PiP as is shows the most engraving.

I was going to say, neither have I Keith, then I remembered that on my recent trip to Mere, which is just up the road, a lady pointed out an area of engravings and I did photograph them, so will look them out soon. Nowhere near the scale or quality of the ones in Moreton Church though.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. There was one window that could only be seen outside and the subject of it has caused some controversy in the past, but I won't say more as I do intend to visit again soon, so will take a photo of it and hope it turns out better than the one I have at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing the next set of photos Rosa.

Oh dear Rosalyn, I got so carried away recallinbg that painting I did not comment on the photography, it is absolutely stunning, all the fine details recorded exactly as they are. Well done.

That's OK Maurice, but thanks for coming back with your kind comment.

Beautiful exterior.............and gorgeous interior!*******

Thank you very much Nouchet.

A stunning collection of images Rosa. The composition of the exterior of the church is spot on with a great perspective. For me the interior shots steal the show; your captures of the windows are second to none with wonderful detail and magnificent light and colours.

Thank you for your very kind comments Doug. I look forward to returning to this church soon and taking pictures of the many other windows and the grave of T.E.Lawrence.

I love this stunning architecture, Rosa. The interior and exterior of the church are equally spectacular. The pointed arches and tracery of the windows are magnificent. In your main photograph, the gravestones provide the ideal foreground interest. I am not surprised you say this is one the most beautiful churches you have visited. You have recorded beautifully, in this series of photographs, the splendour of this formidable edifice. Cheers, Joe

I was blown away by the exterior and interior Joe, and the windows I couldn't stop looking at. As I mentioned to Keith there is a controversial window that I will try to get a better picture of than I did on this occasion when I visit in the near future. Thank you for your very kind comments. Cheers, Rosa.

Looking forward to seeing your controversial photo.

Outstanding church, with beautiful interior and gorgeous stained glass windows!

Thank you very much for your kind comments Dimas.

Superbes photos. Nicole.

Thank you for your kind comment Nicole.

A beautiful church the clear glass gives makes the interior nice and bright very impressive for a small village church

Yes it is very impressive Peter. So nice to have such a bright and light interior.

What a beautiful building this is and so well photographed. A lovely series.

Thank you very much Jean. I am pleased you like the series.

SO VERY BEAUTIFUL

Thank you Pam x

A great church capture here Rosa. As you say, the inside windows are indeed exquisite. You have captures the whole series marvelously. Well done.

Regards, Herb

Thank you very much for your kind compliments Herb.

Best wishes, Rosa.

A lovely church and the interior details in the PiPs are stunning.

Thank you very much George.

This church worth the detour to contemplate the modern windows ... and to see in the cemetary T.E. Lawrence's grave.

It is well worth the detour Pat. I cannot wait to return there.
Thank you for your kind comments.

This really is amazingly beautiful and so full of light! A very well taken set of photos.

Thank you so Gudrun. I thought the church was beautiful outside, but on entering, I was astonished by the beauty of the windows.

This church is marvellous Rosa and you definitely chose a lovely day to visit it and take beautiful pictures, because the light is great and allows you to show us the amazing beauty of its interior and especially of the windows! A wonderful series.

It was a lovely day Adele. We went to the coast afterwards to enjoy the sunshine :) Thank you so much for your very kind comments on this beautiful church with its remarkable windows.

A wonderful set of pics Rosa.
Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much Fabio. I intend to go back soon and I will hopefully photograph the other beautiful windows.

All the best, Rosa.

SO BEAUTIFUL ! *******
Have a lovely new week, dear Rosalyn.

Thank you so much Christiane.

Roselyn, this presentation rocks my world! :D

First of all, the main picture is just breathtaking. Super pov, the clouds in the sky enhance the beauty of the church. The architecture is lovely to admire and the setting is so lovely and peaceful.

The interior shots are fantastic!! The windows and their decor are gorgeous. Super photography to capture them so nicely. The first inset is exquisite...the lovely details of the window and above them, the gorgeous wood for the pews, the whole scene...it's just so pretty. And the etching on the windows is something I don't remember ever seeing before in a church. I really love it.

I stopped to turn my monitor to my husband so that I should share them with him and together we oohed and ahhed over each picture. All of them are so super. Steve loved the main image so much and talked about the architecture with great admiration. He loved all the insets just as much.

We can see why you felt it was one of the prettiest churches you've seen in a while...what an elegant, beauty of a church! Thank you so much for the wonderful show! :)

Sorry I missed your comment Janet. A bit of a late reply! I thank you and your husband for your kind and generous comments. I am not particularly religious, but I do find church architecture very enjoyable. This church, however, had such a wonderful atmosphere that it was difficult not to be moved by such beautiful windows. I am taking my daughter there once winter is over, so hope to show more of their amazing windows.....Rosa.

Great shot of the church Rosa, but i really love the window images. Nice work...Have a good week...Best wishes, Bill.
