Normanton Church

AndMan

Normanton Church was built in 1826-9, the original site the church would have placed it below the proposed water line of Rutland Water reservoir. It was saved by a project which raised the floor level of the church and protected the lower part of the building with a pier of stones.

C&C always appreciated, even if its just "I don't like them".

interesting story. Really like #4.

Maybe it's me but the horizon on #1 and #3 seem to be just a tad off. Maybe a degree or so CC would fix it.

Thanks for commenting. I've fixed #3 - it was actually a duplicate of #1, just shows I shouldn't post when I'm tired. As for the horizon in #1 it is a bit of a problem, the church is actually horizontal in the image but the spit of land it is on curves out into the water and the stone plinth varies slightly in width along its length. I'll take another look to see if I can fix the apparent angle without having the church appear to be sloping to the left.
