A Church Explorer



I first started Blogging back in 2012 in March with Spuds Rural Explorations which I do update with new posts on occasion now. This blog was stared in September along with the Church Explorer which makes them both 8 years old. I have not amassed a lot of followers in that time but as long as people see my work and make the odd comment I am happy. For a little while now I have posted a link to the Church Explorer on here to show where I have visited, you might have noticed this little gif at the bottom of the post
 I came across it looking for a gif to use on a card I tend to leave in churches I visited. While checking out some websites on churches I came across Explore Churches and noticed their gif was the same one, difference was I had changed the colour of it. I thought I Better ask if the minded. They had no problem if I posted a link back which I have. I even wrote a blog on them during lockdown. As lockdown finished they came back to me and asked if I would write something about myself that they could publish on their website. Well I did and here is a link to the article.
 This weeks Church is St Andrew Bradfield which has now been sold to the college. I feel it was a shame that this happened as it is a lovely church 
 Stay Safe

I enjoyed reading your post on the other blog. Like you I can't resist visiting a church. Keep up the exploring.

I like the look of it. Hope the new owners will make reverent use of it. I like visiting churches when travelling, if I have the opportunity. This year I haven't been on any holiday. (Maybe I should go back and check if I have older holiday photos of churches that I never got round to posting...)

Thanks for the link to the story about your enjoyment if exploring churches which I found very interesting with a good background on how you started. There is so much history in church buildings, the older the better. I also like walking through old cemeteries, and your former title seems to have fit that interest.

I do love old churches. They seem to be filled with a sacredness that seems lost in the modern church buildings of this present time.

Finding older ones was how I started the blog

It was a bit of a problem as to which to use, I even did a poll but really in the end I visit the church first then the churchyard

Yes they do seem that way, they do not elude a place of peace to visit to me
