A drone's-eye view of Normanton church on the banks of Rutland Water. The church was de-consecrated in 1970, and was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows. An embankment was built around the church leaving it a prominent feature on the water's edge. HFF & have a great weekend.

No sign of the sea but plenty of the fine ramparts (bottom right) around this medieval town. The ramparts were constructed after the destruction of the town by troops of Habsburg emperor Charles V in June 1537. Montreuil was the headquarters of the British Army in France during the First World War from March 1916 until it closed in April 1919.
