The weather forecast wasn't promising so this months Something Snappy meet was held in St James' Church in Trowbridge. The words were: 'begins with H', 'brown', 'triangle', 'seasonal', 'entrance', 'spiral', 'long', 'ceremonial', 'corner', '3/three', and the bonus word was 'connected with Wiltshire'.
Here's my selection ...
 |
| begins with H - the door hinge |
 |
| brown - the pulpit |
 |
| triangle - 15 holes arranged to create a triangular pattern, the design on a music stand |
 |
| seasonal - the colour of the alter cloth changes depending on the liturgical season |
 |
| entrance - the door to the vestry |
 |
| spiral - one of the poppy wreathes |
 |
| long - the length of the nave |
 |
| ceremonial - it's not easy to see but this is a photo of some of the choir robes |
 |
| corner - a pine cone found in the corner of a desk |
 |
| 3/three - three wheatsheaves on a hassock |
 |
| bonus: connected with Wiltshire - some of the colours (flags) of the Wiltshire Regiment |
We all had a good time and the volunteers in the church were very helpful and welcoming. On Wednesday mornings the church hold a coffee morning so we were able to get hot drinks and biscuits (sadly no cake!) without having to dodge the raindrops and walk to a café. There were only five of us this time, but we had a good laugh and also decided on the next venue - it'll be Trowbridge Museum next time, which should be interesting.
An added bonus was that I also managed to get a selection of photos for my monthly photo challenge as well!
St James is a beautiful church, and topped with a lovely coffee too.. sounds like a good visit.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful church and today's visit was a lovely reminder of that. I actually had hot chocolate, which was yummy. It was a good visit and all the group members managed to get a full set of photos, so everyone was happy.xx
DeleteAs always, you have taken some wonderful photos for the prompts! I'm not finding a lot of things for the monthly challenge, this time around. Nothing much is changing in my area!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless.
DeleteI'm not finding the monthly challenge as easy as I thought it would be. There isn't much foliage changing so far so there's no chance of the colourful photos I was imagining! xx
Lovely lot of photos. Glad the people in the church were accommodating.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. I think they were happy to see us as we were the only ones there for the majority of the time! xx
DeleteYou did really well with your photos in fact they are fabulous.
DeleteThanks Eileen xx

DeleteGreat photos. Such a lovely and interesting church.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole. I think this church is worth another visit just to record its history. xx
DeleteSuch a beautiful church. I like your photo of the very large hinge & of the very ornate pulpit.
ReplyDeleteI love all the ironwork in this church - it's big and beautifully crafted. The pulpit is amazing and the ends of all the pews match parts of the designs on the pulpit. xx
