A Little About Me

Scroll down to content

Welcome, my name is Lynne and I am married to Steve, we are lucky to live in a wonderful part of England call the Fens.  Where we live is just over the boarder of Cambridgeshire and into North Norfolk.

 The county of Norfolk has more churches than any other county, mostly dating from the 15th Century and there are quite a large amount of ruined remains of churches.  So with churches in Cambridgeshire and those of Norfolk I have no end of snaps to take.

 I call then snaps, because no way am I a photographer, I just love recording everything and anything that just looks interesting.  I find searching for churches takes us to different parts of the two counties that we would not normally go to.

Where we live we have the most wonderful church locations and some just a few miles from our home, but we have only just found them, now that we are looking, before we just never saw them.

We have 2 mad dogs that you might see in future snaps and a very large garden, more like a field, so that keeps us busy, when its not raining. Update 2015…..we now have 3 dogs, we rescued a small Yorkie cross, named Eddie, who is just adorable 🙂 Update 2016….we now have 4 dogs, we rescued Toffee a 15 week Pomeranian puppy, who is such a cutie 🙂  They are all lovely dogs, all in their own special ways.

Update 2014.

Just to say thank you to everyone who leaves a comment on my post, it is very much appreciated.

You might just notice that Scotland has had a lot of posts, this is because I really only found Scotland and its wonderful islands about 4 years ago.  I am trying to visit as many islands on the west coast as I can, not that easy when you only have 2 weeks a year, but I’m working on it.  The east coast is not so bad, as we visit a lot due to our work, and its just as beautiful but in a different way.  Also there are now quite a few postings of Wales, as this is another part of the UK that we like to explore.  In fact we really like to explore the whole of the UK, so much history to see.

 We visit Wales every year to visit family and have a holiday….. What I love about Wales is its greenness and secret valleys, with each area different than its neighbour, just on a smaller scale than Scotland.

I have also started to post black & white photos, mainly for a series that I started called ‘Occupations’.  It has now become quite addictive and I am on the constant look out for different occupations and enjoying every moment of it 🙂

Update 2015

This year we went to America for my nieces wedding and then we visited New England and some of the Islands.  I wanted to keep a journal of the visit, as we saw some amazing things and visited some wonderful places.

Thank you to anyone who wants to give me an award, I do appreciate it, but I am an award free blog and I am quite happy if someone just likes or even better leaves comment, thank you 🙂

  1. Churches, everything inside them and their surrounding are great targets for photographing. I love also shoot photos from churches in Finland. I have now a special series from our wooden Poor-man statues which are unique in the world.

    Happy blogging!

    1. Many thanks for dropping by, I agree that churches are wonderful subjects to take photos, inside and out. I will take a look at you posts as I am really interested in the wooden statues.

  11. Hi Lynne. I just started following your blog. Thank you for posting these wonderful pictures. I especially enjoy them because I live in America and cannot see real medieval architecture without a long and expensive trip, which I love doing but don’t have the opportunity to nearly as often as I would like. I just started writing about gargoyles on my own blog. I bet you come across great gargoyles all the time on your adventures. Thanks! Alex

    1. Hi Alex nice to met you. I’m so glad that you enjoy the pictures, thats why I started a blog because I knew there were others out in there that like medieval architecture. I have had a look at you blog and seen your gargoyles, I can see you like them….me too, I will do some gargoyle postings for you, I have loads….but just never get round to posting them….but I will. So as they say….watch this space 🙂

    Thank you for visiting St Cuthbert’s, Thetford last November on a Saturday morning. We are aiming to keep the Church open on Saturdays from 9.30-12.00 and apart from yourself have had many visitors from different parts.
    Thank you for the excellent blogs you have done since your visit, especially the first one. I get all your blogs and keep some of them in Outlook but I know where to get of needed. I am not a great admirer of gargoyles unfortunately.
    My wife and our vicar Bob Baker have asked if we can use your photos for such as making posters for our Saturday openings or for making Christmas cards. You seem to capture the photos better than we can.
    So is there any copyright or anything else stopping us using them?

    Cheers

    1. Hi Ian,
      Thank you for your lovely message. I am quite happy for you to use any photos, infact I would be really pleased, there is no copyright on them, all I ask is maybe you can put my name somewhere. I really must get round to posting the rest of your lovely church. I am really glad that your Saturday openings are working and you are getting lots of visitors.
      We will come and visit again in the Spring.
      Many thanks,
      Lynne

    1. Thank you Coach Muller, I am very glad that you enjoy my posts, but I do not accept awards, I have enough reward that even if some of the people that like my posts, truly like it, than I am happy with that, also I do not have enough time to do everything that is required for an award, its a shame they are just not given. But thank you once again 🙂

  18. Hi Lynne. If you’re not busy, would you like to participate in a blog tour? It’s just a matter of answering 4 questions and posting your answers on June 2…and asking 3 other bloggers if they’d be willing to answer those same questions and posting their answers a week after yours. I guess it’s a bit like a blog hop (I’m a newbie blogger, so these terms are new to me!).

    Reply

    1. Hi Vee, thank you for asking me, but we go home today and then back to work to a pile of work, we have our own company so it will mean working really late. So sorry but I am going to be too busy. But good luck with it, not sure that I have heard of a blog tour before 🙂

  19. Felbrigg Hall does have a very special atmosphere, I think. I have written a book about William ‘Mad’ Windham who squandered the family fortune and lost the place. A previous William Windham (a statesman who was in the elder Pitt’s government) was responsible for the tranquil library, a room wherein ‘Mad’ Windham spent very little time.

    Reply

    1. Hello Russel, I have had a look at your book and I’m going to down load it on to my Kindle, it looks really interesting….I will let you know. As you say Felbrigg does have a special feeling, more so than the other big houses, it still has the feeling of being someones home……well thats what I feel. I am half way through reading the book on the history of Felbrigg, which I was lucky enough to buy an original 1962 hardback version in the secondhand book shop there. May I ask if you are connected to the house in anyway 🙂

      Reply

      1. Thank you. No, I’m not connected with Felbrigg. The history of the house by R.W. Ketton-Cremer, which I expect is the one you’re reading, is very good. He deals with the ‘mad’ Windham affair very fairly. My version is fictionalised, but strongly based on the transcript of Windham’s trial for lunacy. Hope you enjoy it.

    1. Thank you very much for nominating me, but I am an award free blog, I’m just happy if some one likes my posts……I have mentioned it in my post above, but thank you anyway and good luck with yours 🙂

    1. Hello Paul, thank you, I am so glad you like the photos. I see that you have a link to them on the Facebook page, very kind of you. I would be more than happy to post the photographs to the page, but at the moment I have a problem, I have changed to a Mac and is just so different, WordPress is simple but Facebook for some reason will only allow me to do one at a time…….its most probably me, but I will try 🙂

  27. Lynne, I absolutely love your blog and am sharing it here in the US with my family, some who are art historians like I am. Your pictures are excellent quality, you catch all the little details we like to see ( and we love gargoyles and Green Men). We are descended from many of the old families of Cheshire, Lancashire, Wales and Scotland, so it’s the next best thing to being there seeing your photos. I’m making my list of where I want to go when I am able to visit by looking at your blog, keep up the wonderful work, and I love your funny comments on traveling with your husband…:)

    Reply

    1. Thank you for you lovely comments, I am really glad that you enjoy the photos because I just love taking photos of churches, castles etc anything that has a sense of history and its lovely when someone else enjoys the same thing. I must admit I do have a passion for stain glass, gargoyles and angels…….and really anything else in a church 🙂 but I have started to explore other buildings and really anything I think other people would like to know about. We love Scotland and Wales and visit every year, so I hope you enjoy those photos. My in-laws live in Cheshire so I try to visit somewhere when we visit them, but I have yet to explore Lancashire….but give me time 🙂 I hope you will be able to visit, in the not too distant future our beautiful Island. I must admit that I am very lucky with my husband, who is really very good and who chauffeurs me around, because if I drove we would not get to see half the things we do and I’m not sure he really trusts my sense of direction 🙂

      1. Sorry Lynne, but you are wrong about there only being one font in Wales, (Harlech), that is a replica of the one in Copenhagen Cathedral. There is another fine example in St. Mary’s Parish Church, Cefn Meiriadog, St. Asaph, Denbighshire.
        A typed extract from ‘The History of the Diocese of St. Asaph’, 1908-1913, Ven. D.R. Thomas, states:
        “The font, of white Carrera marble, representing a kneeling angel bearing a scallop shell, emblematic of the Christian Pilgrimage, is a copy of that in Copenhagen Cathedral, by Thorwaldsen and was executed by his pupil Stein”
        The church is 150 years old this September, and to celebrate there is a Flower Festival being held in the church 29/30/31st August. I would invite any in the area or passing through to pay a visit. There will also be an opportunity over the weekend to visit the 2000 year old caves of Cefn, which are generally closed to the public. anyone interested in Victorian churches will find this a fine example.

    1. Thank you so much for thinking of me Stephen and its is great honour, but I’m an award free blog. Mainly because I do not have the time that it takes to accept one. Its a shame they are not just given, but I’m an happy with just a like or comment. But once a again, it was nice of you to think of me and I am pleased that you have got one 🙂

      1. I totally understand. I often have to decline mine too as they do take a long time to prepare.

        If we ever move to North Norfolk or Lincs I will have to tag along on one of your church exploration days 🙂

  30. Hi, amazing to find another person who has a similar passion and also is on the border of Norfolk. I am a Norfolkonian 🙂

    Loving the imagery, like you, I am an award free blog and not a professional photographer by any means, look forward to seeing more of your work!

    1. Hi, nice to met you and having had a nice long look at your blog, I would say we are very similar, although I think mine is a bit more tame than yours 🙂 We have lived here for the last 8 years and have enjoyed every moment, I still feel that I’m on holiday. There is just some much history in Norfolk and its neighbours. I really like to document and I also use my blog as a journal of where we have visited. I love taking photos of churches as there is such a wealth of history in one church, followed by everything else 🙂 Looking forward to your next posting.

      Reply

  31. Hi Lynne, Yes, we are similar in that we also cover churches, castles and that type of thing. Just love the style, architecture, history, the hidden details and why so many have become redundant as is the case in Norfolk. Like you, we do spread our wings into other counties too. Keep up the good work!

    Reply

    1. I just wish we could make more people realise what wonderful buildings they are, A lot of the population will pay a fortune to visit a stanley home or castle, but sometime the smallest church has more history and beautiful architecture and the country is full of them…….never mind we can only do our bit 🙂

      Reply

      1. Agreed, I for one recognise the work that English heritage do, but am not a great admirer for their money spinning machine or the way that they add new sections to otherwise old buildings. The Churches Conservation trust have a little pot and there is a huge amount of work in order to sustain or restore, preserve, conserve our redundant churches. What has always fasinated me is why many of our medieval churches are in a state of ruin simply because the locals decided to not attend anymore and then a new church is built in its place to serve the local populace – why not put the money used for building a new church back into the old?

        I always love tracing my hand along someone’s carved initial – just doing that simple gesture makes me think that if the person was looking down – they are at least remembered somehow.

        Yes, we continue to share our past while they still stand!

  32. Dear Lynne,
    Like your website.
    Please if you help do you knew of any photographs of the memorial inscription of the headstones in St James burial ground.

  37. Just a short “Bravo” Lynne. I just discovered your blog. I am just getting started and your discoveries are wonderful. Two thoughts. What kind of camera equipment do you use? In addition to the locations, I’d love to know more about the artists, designers, makers of these windows if you have that information on them. I imagine that may not be known to you when you take the photos. Any way, I will be back often to see all of your photos and enjoy some vicarious traveling with you. I have been collecting photos of stained glass windows in the US (mostly around Kansas City) for a while and I am envious of the treasures in Britain. Best to you for 2015.

    1. Hello Bruce, nice to met you. I’m glad you like my blog, the trouble with me is, that I love anything old, so I dart here, there and everywhere, but churches are my favourite along with everything that makes a church. Stained glass is a really a difficult thing to date and know the maker of the glass, lots are not signed and really only by keep looking at books and online, that I stating to learn about it. Some I do know, medieval is very easy as there is not that much left, and I can tell the difference between some of them. But unless I am really totally sure I will not say anything, incase I am wrong 🙂 Its nice to hear that someone else collects it. My camera is Nikon D90 and my photography is a hobby and really its the recording of the item or building that is important to me. Although I have started to like taking black & white street photography. The best thing about blogging is to enjoy it, and do it for you, and just hope that other people like it enough to tag along, it will take time, but stick with it. All the best for 2015 and I am sure you will enjoy your blogging, Lynne.

  41. Hello – love your blog! I came upon it as I have been looking for Font Covers suspended from the ceiling or similar, on pulleys, in England. I am a NADFAS Church Recorder.

    I went searching a 17thC Font from Salisbury Cathedral given to YANKAVILLA town near Adelaide, S. Australia to the new Vicar in 19th C. Took me 3 visits over 3 years! To find the correct town, then the Font was away being restored by Adelaide Art Museum (2014) and now in 2015, I found it!
    Alabaster 7 tonne bowl, on a stem, the repair has had to be of marble joining the two together.

    You should make a special trip to see the present, contemporary infinite pool Font! Lovely!

    Can you help my search for suspended covers in England?

    Very grateful

      Sorry this is a bit late, but if I can help with the suspended covers, I will if I can. I’m not sure if I have seen many or even any…..but come to think of it i might have seen one in a church in Newcastle, but I would have to check.

  42. Hello, have found you via Clerk of Oxford. What is the name of the ruin you are standing in front of in Cambridgeshire at the top of the post?
    I think your photos are terrific, and completely agree about churches often so interesting and free unlike stately homes. SO much history lurking beneath the obvious. I have a book called Norfolk Churches (from second hand shop) and am working my way round some of them.

    Reply

    1. Hello Jane, nice to meet a fellow church hunter, it does become quite additive. The ruins are of All Saints Church in the lost village of Silverley at Ashley. If you go to categories and just press search, choose Churches of Cambridgeshire and then run through them, its the 2nd post from the bottom, it is one that got me started on church ruins. The trouble is, I get side tracked, churches, castles, abbeys, or even anything remotely old, my main love really is round tower churches and the roof angels, but then followed very closely by every thing else. I also love finding books on churches in second hand bookshops, well any where really that has books. So maybe I will bump into you one day, although strangely enough I never seem to see anyone else, visited two yesterday and never saw a soul 🙂 Do you post about the ones you have visited 🙂

      3. Round towers – I went to Little Snoring at Easter with my husband. He looked at the airfield while I looked at the round tower! Have you been to that one?

      4. Yes Little Snoring is a lovely church, I have posted about it, its in Churches of Norfolk. Its really interesting, because the tower is a lot older than the main body of the church. Hope you had nice weather for your visit 🙂

  44. Hi Lynne,
    I stumbled upon your lovely blog tonight when I was searching for rag rugs (of all things), and somehow your blog showed up in “Google” images. Happy little accident, and am just blown away by the beauty of Scotland. I live in the US near D.C., and both my grandmothers came from Ireland. Would love to visit your part of the world, needless to say. Carry on with your heart and capture what your eyes see.

  46. Hi Lynne Just looked at the photo of The Exorcists House in King`s Lynn Norfolk I have some very happy times there I was born 27/06/1957 at the house next door to it.

  48. Hello Lynne. Just discovered your wonderful, time-devouring blog and it’s the reason my hedges aren’t going to get cut today, after all!
    I’m really enjoying your love of the past and of taking photos – and more importantly, of sharing that passion.
    I’ve recently become interested in finding medieval graffiti in churches and am going to have a look around my area of Sutton St James, just over the border from you in South Holland. (Any hints much appreciated!)
    Power to your shutter.

    1. Hi Jonathan, thank you for the lovely comments and I hope you have found time to cut your hedges now 🙂 Glad you are enjoying the blog, it makes it all worth well when other people enjoy it, which happily they seem to do. Well medieval graffiti, it gets you hooked once you have found some. I found a really interesting one last week, St Peters at Claypole on the Lincolnshire/ Nottinghamshire border. I found lots in the porch, felt really please with myself, when one of the church wardens, who was cutting the grass, asked if I had seen the graffiti, I had missed the most important ones. He showed me some, there are 300 in the church, there is a web site about them, but I have yet to look, as we have just come back from holiday. The only hints I can give you, is always look on woodwork, stone columns and in the bell tower. Also ask if you see any church members in the church, they are always pleased to help. Also I have found lots in old houses, abbeys, really anything made of stone 🙂
      You have some interesting churches around you and I am sure you will find some…..oh and take a torch for dark corners 🙂
      Thanks again, Lynne

Hi you have solved a mystery for me in respect of St James chapel Kings Lynn, I was born in this area and only last year 2015 came across the above, I asked a elderly couple who was walking by did they know how this came about to which they replied they believed when the near by income tax building was built it was built on this cemetery and the stones was removed to where they are now which I found very hard to believe, THANK YOU.
    As you like this type of thing suggest the following, when you are in this area make your way to the village of Hillington then take the road to Sandringham, after you have turned off the main road to Kings Lynn keep a watch out r/h side for a old church in the back ground, this church is on the Royal estate but you are allowed to visit, if you make it there, is a well which is a must to visit as well as church, in the church is a grave with a Latin inscription, sure your Latin is better than mine,If you come from village of Hillingdon and find your self outside the main gate of Sandringham house you have come too far, might be lucky and get a cup of tea you never know. FINALLY A WORD OF WARNING, church in deplorable state no roof etc, PLEASE TAKE CARE, Robin.

    1. Hello Robin, many thanks for your lovely message. I love it when one of my posts helps someone, somehow, its really nice. I have always been fascinated by the grave stones and what is left of St James window and really enjoyed finding out about it.
      And thank you for the details of the old church, I will get husband to come with me to explore and see if we can find it. I promise we will be careful, I would never go inside one that wasn’t stable, I’m a bit of a chicken, I know some do, but not me 🙂 Lynne
