The Parish Church of St. Lawrence, Appleby.
The church of St Lawrence stands at the bottom of Boroughgate in the heart of the old market town of Appleby. The church dates in part to the 12th century, though with remodelling from practically every century since then! The church is built of local red sandstone, and is composed of a south porch, west tower, nave, north and south aisles, two chapels, and a chancel. The base of the tower is the oldest part, dating to the 12th century.

The church was attacked by Scots raiders on at least 2 occasions, in 1174 and again in 1388.

The church is entered through the south porch, which was built in the 14th century. Here, the door features original dog-tooth moulding.

What a lovely old church. I love the detail, textures and colours in that old sandstone and it seems to have stood the ravages of time very well considering the softness of the stone. I shouldn't worry about the tree George but there are a few whiskers protruding from around the structure that could do with a bit of a trim. None of it really matters though because the building more than makes up for it. Luv it!

A pleasing well balanced composition.

A personal thing here George - I mostly clone out leaves ets which are sitting on the grass and are of a different colour, not always but something perhaps to think about.

Good POV and a fine old building, and lucky to get the unobstructed view more often then not that is a problem. I agree with Keith about small branches that seem to be bristling around the church, two areas on the tower and the RH side. Lots of editing already done and no sign of the cloning, so perhaps enough is enough.
Well done George a nice picture.

It is a beautiful church. I've not been inside, either, as there was a funeral on at the time of my last visit. The subtle variations in the colours and textures of the stonework stand out well here. Frank's comment about cloning out the different coloured leaves on the grass makes me think he has far too much time on his hands

What a gorgeous church of which you have captured that brilliane stonework on it.
