My street No. 4

St Paul's church.

It is a while since I posted a blip for " my street ".
My street No. 3

This is our Church. St Pauls.
Consecrated in 1831.
The Emmet family provided the land in 1828 for the building of the church.
(More about the family in a later blip)
Parliament granted £3000 and a mock Gothic church in the Lancet style was the result.

I was waiting for the cherry trees to come out, to frame the picture.
These were planted 50 years ago, and at this time of year make a lovely backdrop for photographs.
Unfortunately there aren't many weddings at the church now.
When I had the flower shop in the village, 30 years ago, there was a wedding nearly every Saturday throughout the Summer.
How times have changed!

Today has been glorious. Wall to wall sunshine! Still a bit chilly out of the sun though.

I am looking forward to our walk tomorrow, along the river and canal near Ripon, and the weather sounds good.

Hope you are all enjoying the Bank holiday weekend too!
