Description
St Winnow Church, Lerryn
Situated on the banks of the River Fowey, in my native Cornwall.
St Winnow Church has to have one of the most spectacular views of any churchyard in Britain. Most of the church dates from the 15th Century, though the oratory of St Winnoc was originally built in the 7th century and parts of the North wall and transept date from the 12th century.
St Winnow's is well-known for its carved bench ends which include some unusual figures including a St Catherine's Wheel, a ship and a man wearing a Cornish kilt drinking cider. Other interesting things to see inside include 16th century and Victorian stained glass windows, a 15th Century font and one of the few Rood screens to have survived in Cornwall.

How odd. I have the feeling I've been here before. Never have but it feels like it. Stunning postwork and amazing composition.
Splendid image
Beautiful shot, PW and presentation!
Wonderful shot; it looks like a really lovely church!
That is an amazing work. I love the saturation of the greens and the grays and how the gray church connects the earth with the sky. This one really deserves to be framed up.
Really beautiful image!

Great vision.
Fantastic view indeed. Great capture
Very nice HDR photo. Well done.
A spectacular landscape and photo-shot, Daniel. Amazing colors and composition.
Wonderful capture and HDR photo !
This reminds me strongly of Svenart's Appleby Graveyard image. It's interesting to see how the real thing compares to a CG scene. I love the natural weathering and subtle disorder visible in the photo and missing in the CG work. But I love the beautiful stonework spotlighted in both works. Especially those windows.
Fantastic photo!
Outstanding capture!!!!
So lovely.
Absolutely beautiful!
What delightful and dramatic skies Ireland possesses; or is it just Lerryn? ;)
