click photo to enlargeThe medieval church of St Bartholomew, Chipping, has an old and engaging roof feature that is not too common, and which puzzles many. The south-facing "dormer" window was added to throw light on to the rood screen, and subsequently (following the screen's removal) illuminated the pulpit, making reading easier, and the vicar more visible!

Nice Photo Tony, I am always looking out for your shots of churches, particularly in this perspective with the grounds and cemetery. I have built quite a few houses with Dormer windows in their roof, but don't ever remember seeing one in a church roof like this...quite unique!

Tony,
we are missing your posts for a couple of weeks now, I hope you are well and just enjoying a vacation or busy working around the house?
best wishes

Thanks for the comment Milton. I've been out of circulation for a while, so haven't seen your post until today. Dormers in churches are not common in the UK, but can be found reasonably frequently, especially (it seems to me) in north-west England.

Thanks for the query Henk. I've messaged you on FTPF.
Tony
