Lancashire wander

What a fantastic day! The weather was spectacular, quite warm and very sunny... so we managed to get round two local(ish) churches in Lancashire for a wander.

We ended up in Halton (not far from Lancaster city) at St Wilfred's church (rebuilt in 1877), what a place! It still has an original tower built during Norman times with 5ft thick walls, the rest of the church (including the Tudor entrance) was rebuilt in 1877. There are three photos in the tower by the baptism font showing the church over three years; the first from 1875 shows the church as it was, the 1876 photo shows just the tower remaining, and the 1877 shows the church as it is now... well near enough anyway. Thanks to the very kind cleaners who let us wander round while they got ready for a Sunday service. Lancashire people are so nice... no, I ain't one.

We then went to the nearby village of Hornby. Now that is a village! Overlooked by the impressive Hornby Castle, the unique St Margaret's church with it's octagonal apse and tower, and the lovely wide bridge over the Lune... a spectacular place with amazing views.

We ended our trip with a wander along Morecmabe prom... Back home ready for grub, I'm starving!
