Welcome to the Sunday Stills feature hosted by Terri Webster Schrandt.
This week’s prompt is churches, temples and spiritual centres. I’m adding cathedrals to the mix as I don’t have any photos of temples.
Wells Cathedral in Somerset.
St Oswald’s, a delightful church at Heavenfield, Northumberland. The site is believed to be where King Oswald and his troops prayed before the battle of Heavenfield in the 7th century.
St Michael and All Angel’s Church in Littlebredy, Dorset on the left and St Margaret’s Church in North Wales, also known as the Marble Church because of the different kinds of marble used to decorate in interior.
The interior of Salisbury Cathedral.
Nantwich church on the left, on the right the church of St John the Baptist in the small hamlet of Edlingham in Northumberland. The existing stone church was built in the year 1000 on the site of earlier wooden structures.
Valle Crucis Abbey in Wales would have been classed as a spiritual centre in its day. Founded for an order of Cistercian monks in 1201, the most popular of the monastic orders in medieval Wales who lived a strict religious life.

The Wells Cathedral was amazing to experience. The money and years that go into creating them are astounding. Lovely images, Cathy.

Somehow I knew you would have a gallery of churches at the ready, Cathy! These are spectacular and truly show how humankind appreciates our sacred spaces, enough to build huge monuments to the eternal.

There are so many Terri. Everywhere you go there are either churches, cathedrals or the ruins of previous ones. I love looking round them and the smaller older ones have such a sense of history.

You have a majestic collection of sacred spaces. WOW! I’m always fascinated by how much work it must’ve been to build such massive structures that have survived and are still standing!

There are so many dotted about the UK. It is incredible to think how long ago they were built and much time and effort it must have taken. Thanks Shelley 🙂
