I thought you lot might find this interesting….

I am always going in churches and cathedrals on my travels, I love the history and architecture, along with learning about as some of those laid to rest inside or in the grounds.

Great video. I did a little of the Pilgrims' Way in Surrey this summer, on my days off, and got to St Martha's (Martyrs' hill , near Guildford). I'll try to dig out some photos and compress. I also popped in to StMary's in Guildford, it's got a Saxon knave.

Earlier in the summer, I went cycling to Wallington, Herts, and visited StMary's. It's the village where George Orwell lived and the village farm is called Manor Farm. The church has some 15th century graffitti

@hedgehog Ely was on my list to visit with my mum. I'll go do it next time.

Me and Stella were very lucky when we visited Ely, there was a full size Orchestra playing in there so we sat and listened for awhile, which topped the visit nicely
