This blog is to showcase some of the photo's I've taken, the pictures can be from my archive of many years or taken recently. They are from where I live and the various places I have been. I hope Enjoy my work and come back to visit again
This weeks Sunday Photo is 13th-century Preaching Cross on the village green in Woodeaton, in the background is the Holy Rood church which is featured this week in my other blog My Grave Place.
One of the many things I love about blogging is that it sends you on little journeys, like me not knowing what a preaching cross was and going to Google to find out about it. If I ever saw one of these before I was 25 years old (the age I left England) I don't remember it. It's only with age that I have loved learning about these things, and so Bill I want to thank you for sending me on my journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this post and the one of the church. I have this love of learning now and it is why I enjoy visiting blogs such as yours. Better late than never i suppose, the journeying :)
Let you into a secrete, I never knew either till a few years ago. A village near me has three of them in various states. Might do a blog on them for a change
I must confess to having to look up the meaning of "preaching cross". Thank you introducing me to something "new" from the 13th century, as well as sharing it at Sunlit Sunday. The setting is one I would enjoy visiting and can imagine lingering there for awhile. I must pop over the ocean again . . .
Re your comment at «Louis'» inSPIREd Sunday post and the use of the HDR for the interior shots: «Louis» agrees with you. He's done it twice now: first time and last - both at the same time! :-)
A very interesting photo of this 'preaching cross' and I will have to look it up too, as I've never heard of one before. Very unique. I'm off to do that and to see your other blogpost. Have a good week.
A great photo for Sunlit Sunday Bill. I've learnt something new - I hadn't heard of a preaching cross before. I've visited the UK twice but can't remember seeing one on those visits. Ir was nice of you to leave a kind comment on my blog - thank you. Shane
Thats it I'm going to have to write a blog on the ones I have found. I loved the intricate work show on your blob,Thanks for visiting and your welcome to come back again.

Looks so pretty with the sunny spells.
Wish you a fine Weekend, Heidrun
Wow - 13th century! I'd love to visit your country and see all the ancient buildings.
Nice photo, Bill!

It does and I was lucky that day as the rain held off
There are even crosses older than that around as well
Thank You
Yes it does but also causes me grief at times taking photos
Got to admit it did Gerald
Beautiful picture.
Hello, Bill
I must confess to having to look up the meaning of "preaching cross". Thank you introducing me to something "new" from the 13th century, as well as sharing it at Sunlit Sunday. The setting is one I would enjoy visiting and can imagine lingering there for awhile. I must pop over the ocean again . . .

Beautiful setting. I bet it's gorgeous in the summer when the trees are full.
A calming scene for sure.

I enjoy reading bits of medieval history and what fun to see a preaching cross photo! The sunshine is lovely, too.

I enjoy finding it, I also like finding preaching crosses. Thanks for dropping by
Hope I did not offend you with what I said, it looked like a wonderful place to spend time

So do I and it's coming up at the moment
They are not unique in the UK though some are in better condition than others

The Preaching Cross is new to me, thank you for sharing. Lovely scene and photo. Have a happy week!
I seemed to have enlightened a lot of people with the Preaching cross, glad you enjoyed the photo
A peaceful landscape, gently covered in sunshine and visited by shadows, where its history sleeps forever.
Lovely, Bill.
Poppy
Thank you Poppy, that has to be the nicest reply I have had.
Beautiful.
Beautiful scene! It's nice to see so much green. Everything here is white.
