Art in the Priory on Caldey Island

The scene above is etched on the wall of the 12th century Saint Illtyd's Church on Caldey Island. How old do you think it is?

Ripon Cathedral

The High Altar at Ripon Cathedral

We stopped at Ripon on the way home from camping at Bishop Monkton. The plan was to find a cafe for breakfast, but I couldn't resist spending a few minutes exploring the cathedral. :-)

The One Handed Clock at Coningsby

Saint Michael's church in Coningsby has the largest single handed clock in the world. The clock face is 5 metres across and apparently the time can be read up to two miles away.

The Church of Saint Lawrence

The church sits on the site of an Iron Age hill fort in the Chilterns, although it's difficult to spot any trace of the fort using Google maps. It's claimed the sphere on the tower was used as a secret meeting place by members of the Hellfire Club. Close to the church is the hexagonal Dashwood Mausoleum build by one of the Hellfire Club's founders, Sir Francis Dashwood.
