St. Giles' Church Windows, Kellaways

St. Giles' Church Windows, Kellaways
This is a small and utilitarian church built c.1800 to replace a dilapidated structure beyond repair. The only ornament of note is an octagonal cupola of almost staggering beauty in contrast to the ordinariness of the church beneath it. Each long side has three windows with perfect symmetry of alignment. The narrow ends provide a door to the west and a window to the east, the latter being usual in church architecture.
The church is invariably locked when I visit Kellaways. I don't even bother trying the door any more.
Nikon D2Xs and Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus Wide Angle lens. Distortion City despite the assistance of processing software. 100 ISO.

Breathtaking: the jewel- like windows set in plain mottled stone.
And then: the modest church with such a jeu d’esprit of a tower/ cupola.
I bet Betjeman would have enthused about this .Did he?

It’s a shame it has to be locked. It’s a joy of the local chapel I photograph so frequently that it’s always open.
