St. Peter, Charney Bassett
#SteepleSaturday
The church stands beside Charney Manor, once an Abingdon Abbey grange. From possible Saxon beginnings the current building began in the early 12th century, grew in the 14th and 15th, then endured neglect, restoration, war damage and most recently repair.

Seeing as it is #SteepleSaturday, let's make a final visit this week to our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, the beautiful Aberlady Parish Church in East Lothian.
Its wonderful tower, that once housed a doocot, is all that remains of the 15th century church, the rest was rebuilt in 1773.

A colour landscape aspect photograph looking across the rooftops of a large town centre on a sunny day. A tall, thin church steeple and a separate (and slightly lower) church tower are prominent in the distance. The dominant colours are pale blues and greys in the sky, and shades of brick red and industrial greys in the buildings in the foreground.
An unusual view of the elegant spire at St. Elphin's, #Warrington: at 281 feet, one of the tallest in an English parish church. Mediaeval origins, C19 restoration. The tower to the right is at St. Mary's, formerly Benedictine, now a 'shrine'.

The earliest surviving fabric is 13C stonework, though most of the structure dates from the 14C and 15C. Restored 1834 under William IV and more extensively in 1863 by William Butterfield, who altered the tower, raised the roof, and added the north porch.
There may have been no font this week but Mouse have to move on all the same. Time to visit a new church on the #ScamperUpTheSomersetAvon. Mouse not acclimatised to city living but the traffic and noise is worth bearing for a visit to this pointy marvel #SteepleSaturday
