The Lord is our Shepherd!

The Lord is our Shepherd!
The church of St Peter and St Paul at North Curry pictured here with tow of it's flock! The church has the nickname of 'The Cathedral of the Moor'. This attractive Norman church dates back to c1300 and stands proudly on the hill overlooking the Somerset Levels.

We stopped for a photo and the resident caretakers pictured here came running down to give us a warm welcome.

The link I have added is Diana Krall's version of 'Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep'

Je pense qu'il y a un intérêt particulier à venir voir les promeneurs, peut-être quelques chose à manger ? Le décor est magnifique et paisible, très jolie prise de vue Carol !
3 days ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Dominique Sarrazin club
Thank you very much Dominique. It was lovely seeing them running down the hill towards us and bleating gently, but I am sure you are right and that food might well have been the incentive. Alas we had nothing. They were very sweet thought.

A very nice picture of this interesting church!
Why its nickname is 'The Cathedral of the Moor' ?
I looked for internet, but i only found this information.
Wikipedia says
"The church was erected on the site of an earlier church. Episcopal records in Wells mention a church in North Curry as early as 1199."
Anyway you made a really wonderful composition with the sheep!
HFF and have a great weekend Carol!

Best wishes

Ecobird club has replied to gezginruh club
Thank you very much for the lovely comments Fusun.

I gather that it is known as the Cathedral of the Moors because of it's impressive size, and of course it stands proud above the Levels or Moors. It is a lot bigger than it actually looks in this picture and is really quite beautiful.

Roger also told me the sheep can be seen on the image from Google Earth!!

Ecobird club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Thank you very much Colin. They do seem to be and are certainly very friendly. I imagine they are pets. Roger did tell me they appeared in the Google Earth map so they seem like they belong there.

Yes the church is really beautiful and actually bigger than it seems here.

Have a good weekend. Best wishes Carol

A delightful scene , so well taken , Carol!
The sheep seem to be looking at you, but they must have realized your intentions were good! ;-)
The ancient church on the top of the hill looks so beautiful and everything in the ohoto is in harmony!
HFF and a nice weekend
3 days ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Adele club
Thank you very much for your lovely generous comments Adele. I like to think they were pleased to see us and wanted their photos taken. They may just have been looking for treats though.
The church is beautiful. We wanted a closer look as we took some photos from a little distance away on the other side of the church. Surrounded by trees in their autumn colours it looked so nice. Unfortunately parking was limited and we had to settle for this view. I was pleased though as we may not have had such a warm welcome at the front of the church.

HFF and have a good weekend
