It's one of my favourite churches - St Laurence’s:

http://www.saxonchurch.org.uk/guide.htm



St Laurence's Church, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, is one of relatively few Saxon churches left standing in England that does not exhibit later medieval alteration or rebuilding. The church stands on rising ground close to the large Norman church of the Holy Trinity.



A charter of King Æthelred granted Bradford to the nuns of Shaftesbury in 1001, and the church’s architecture suggests it was built for the nuns early in the eleventh century.

St Laurence’s is a characteristic Anglo-Saxon building: tall and narrow with small windows. The extent and richness of its decoration, however, are rare, perhaps suggesting it was designed partly for the relics of Æthelred’s brother Edward the Martyr, which were housed with the nuns at Shaftesbury. Some time later the church, being no longer required, was lost amidst other buildings and only came to notice again in the nineteenth century.

A friend of mine liked photographing different architectural features on the windows of old buildings. Unfortunately he was temporarily detained and questioned by the police who thought that he might be a burglar photographing potential access points.
I've often felt a bit uneasy hanging around in undergrowth with a long lens- stalking wildlife that is!
