St Mary's Church Portchester Castle (+PiP)

St Mary's Church Portchester Castle (+PiP)
This lovely church was built circa 1133 inside the walls of a Roman fort (now Portchester Castle) when Henry I founded a small priory of Augustinian Canons who moved soon afterwards. The priory has long since gone, but the church remains, largely untouched.

Check out the PiP for a view of the inside.

Interesting composition in which the eyes (mine, anyway) are first drawn in to the dark tree and shadowed church and then back out to the bright lawn, repeatedly. And it's beautiful, too.
