Church
Hello,
Following on from last week’s theme of church’s,
I wanted to share the following images of St Mary’s Chapel in Rattray, Aberdeenshire.
It is believed that the church was constructed around 1214.
The history still standing in and around the northeast of Scotland is amazing to see.
Thanks,
Lee
Hello,
Today I am sharing a couple of images of the Church in Montrose.
I really like how the spire is such a dominating structure along the high street and skyline.
Some information on the structure.
The Old and St Andrew's Church ('Auld Kirk') is a Church of Scotland church in Montrose, Angus. It was dedicated in 1793.
The current steeple, designed by James Gillespie Graham, was completed in 1834.
Thanks

Good morning,
Continuing with my church project, here are some images of a church near to where I work in the tiny village of Kirkton of Craig.
One caveat to my project, during the time taking the images, I realised that this is no longer a place of warship and is now a residential house.
Craig Parish Church was built in 1799 by Richard Crichton, an associate of Robert Adam. It is the earliest Gothic Revival church in Scotland. The church consists of an aisled nave and west tower and is situated in small grounds overlooking Montrose Basin and close to the coastal town. The building shows some interesting transitional details and is A-listed. It went out of ecclesiastical use some time ago and is now a private house.
Thanks,
Lee
Good morning,
Today I’d like to share some photos of St Vigeans Church.
This Church of Scotland parish church serves the parish of the ancient village of St Vigeans on the outskirts of Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. The church was rebuilt in the 12th century but not consecrated until 1242 by David de Bernham, Bishop of St Andrews
These images are another edition to my church project where I am enjoying shooting different churches.
Do you have an ongoing project? I would love to see it.
Send me a message on Instagram.
Thanks,
Lee
Good morning,
Here is a photo following on from my personal project of photographing Church’s.
Although officially Fairhaven United Reformed Church, this church is known locally as The White Church.
The story of the White Church begins at a meeting of the congregation of Lytham Congregational Church in 1899 with the suggestion that there should be a new church in Fairhaven on the estuary of the Ribble on land leased by the Clifton family of Lytham Hall. A month after the proposal was made they received great encouragement for their vision. The Congregational Union of England and Wales had commenced a fund to raise half a million guineas for church extension… ‘in view of the rapid increase in population’.
Now there was no stopping them and with scarcely a setback they began raising the money that would be required to build the new church, a church which they all agreed should be a distinctive architectural feature in the district (and it is!).
Four firms were chosen to submit designs. The successful architects were Briggs, Wolstenholme and Thornley of Blackburn who won with a design that imitated some of the features of Byzantine architecture (on the outside that is). When the church was opened on October 17, 1912, eight years after the opening of the new church hall on May 4 1904, their vision was realised.
Thanks

Hello, I hope that you are well.
Today I would like to share some images taken of the Parish Church of St Annes.
The Above image was lit by attaching LumeCube lights to a drone and flown close by to illuminate different areas. Multiple exposures were taken and then blended in photoshop.
The church is from which the town took its name. It is part of the Church of England and in the Diocese of Blackburn.
History
The building of St Annes Church was commissioned by Lady Clifton in the early 1870s and named in memory of her aunt who was called Anne. It was built as a chapel of ease to the then parish church of St Cuthbert in Lytham to benefit the farm labourers and fishermen of the hamlet of Heyhouses, who had difficulty in getting to church on a Sunday morning. It was several miles walk
Hello,
This is the Lecropt Kirk Parish, Church of Scotland 🏴.
What an Amazing building, and interesting contrast between the old and modern.
It was built in 1825 now with the M9 adjacent.
Bonus random fact for you, the founder of the special air service (SAS) Major David Stirling was from Lecropt.
Have a great weekend

I spent Christmas at work on an oil rig,
I was down in the south of England for New Year with family and loved ones.
As you are all aware the weather has been awful of late.
We got it hard in the North Sea over Christmas, I was itching to get home and have a play in the snow with the camera before it all melted.
Well, my luck was in, i’m now in Dunstable and the heavens are open, I set out to get some pictures of the snow.
The sky was dark and not looking good, I took a few shots of the people who were wrapped up warm braving the cold.
Whilst on the retreat back to the house...
feeling a bit disappointed, as there wasn't much that could be taken. I see the sky start to clear.
Oh yes, happy days....
I take my time to see what will unfold before my eyes. Some stunning colours started to come out.
I took a few snapshots of the cold and grey. My favourite piece of the weather is the cemetery scene.
