Bikes and... wait for it, wait for it, Churches!

I thought I'd spotted a Tin Tabernacle.
It's Llandewi village hall

And heres Cwmmera Baptist Church.

If you needed to pray around here, the churches and chapels are rarely more than a few minutes ride apart!

^I love those Georgian London churches!
Here's something a little older:

Originally Chepstow priory, now st Mary's Church.
Built late 11th century, belonging to the normans, so this doorway is knocking on 900 years old.

The tower fell down in a storm in 1701, so most of that is, er, comparativey modern.

Today I rode past
Llanfihangel Ystum Llewern...

Surprisingly means st Michael (and the angels) burning the willo'thewisp

Inside, amongst the medieval stonework, memorials, carved timber and stained glass, was a hospitality section, with kettle, teabags, fresh milk...


Seems to be becoming more popular round here - maybe nationwide?
So I had a nice cup of tea,
sitting on a bench in the sunshine,
in the graveyard,
which stands 6 feet above the surrounding land...

- the guide booklet says its because of the several thousand villagers buried here over a thousand years

On my way to a London Fixed ride yesterday, Corpus Christy Church, Brixton.

Beggin your pardon guv but that is St Matthews C of E Church. Corpus Christi is further up Brixton Hill on the junction with Horsford Road.
