Bike ride

Today's group service was on the fen in a lovely little chapel  of considerable architectural merit. The Church of St Gilbert and St Hugh was designed by William Bucknall and Sir John Ninian Comper and built in 1902/03. 
Born in 1864, Comper is known as one of the last of the great Gothic Revival architects, designing both churches and stained glass windows.  Comper met Bucknall in 1888 and set up a partnership with him in Westminster. Comper married Bucknall's sister and together they had 6 extraordinarily successful children including Nick Comper, one of Britain's most brilliant and influential aeronautical engineers of the early 1930's. He was best known for the design and manufacture of the 'Comper Swift' light aircraft. The church has a lovely bright interior. It had fallen into disrepair but was saved and restored in 2001.
After making bread and planting some dahlias and because it was a still day, I went on a bike ride instead one going for a walk.
