Where Am I? No. 32 - Country Church
« on: Sunday 24 May 15 00:44 BST (UK) »
I really hope we can find this one as it looks quite adorable.

There are two images this time and hopefully once again, enough for you super detectives to work with.  Any new architectural terms that people spot, could you please share, as I would like to add them to the photos description, plus it's educational!!

Second view.

These are very tiny photos, about the size of a couple of postage stamps.

Anybody recognise the chaps standing outside?  :P :P :P  ::) ::) ::)  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Is that a Knights Templar symbol over the door?

Two different doorways. The top photo has steps up to the door but not the second one. Sides of the path slope up on second one though. So maybe located on a slight hill? However I have seen church graveyards which slope up like this even of the church is not located on a hill. But looking behind the church in photo 1 it is difficult to judge if we see only trees in the  background, or a hill ... Or a bit of both.  :-\
The tower is obviously on th other side of the church as tthe  top is just peeping over the roof in photo1.
Flint chirch.
Don't know about the symbol but hope someone will be able to recognize it from that.

I would guess that the porches are a later addition.  :-\

The tower peeping over the top has lucarnes.  I'm not really that clever, Pat enlightened us on this particular architectural term in WAI 29   :P :P ;D ;D

To quote Pat:
 "A lucarne is a "small gabled opening in a roof or a spire"

Hope this helps with the search  ;)

These are terms for Sussex church architecture but still relevant
