The Red Tower

The Red Tower
For over six centuries, The church of St Mary the Virgin, has been the focal point of the village of Stogumber, The tower which was begun in the fourteenth century, is built of red sandstone, but differing styles indicate church extensions over the years!

Stogumber is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, on the eastern flank of the Brendon Hills. It also has a station on the West Somerset Railway.

A large view for detail!

Captured on a dull and overcast September day, HWW to one and all!

The church has the architectural appearance of a patchwork church. Very interesting in its design. Very nicely shown. HWW, Roger.

Thank you Michael, it has had a number of extensions over time, weather because of congregation size or rich residents hoping for a place in the ever after!

Despite its mixed bag of styles and bits added (and removed) over the years, it's still a very impressive looking church.

Viewed large, the detail you've captured is excellent and I like the light and the warm colours of the stonework.

Beautifully done Roger!

Excellent comments Keith, thank you,
Somerset is big on red sandstone, with a good many quarries, most closed now,
An attractive but soft stone, often used on churches!
