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.

The Domesday Book of 1068 recorded a settlement of 22 households at Langefel, tenanted by Borel. 'Langley' derives from 'long lea' i.e. 'long meadow'. There is considerable variation in road direction signposts. These look cheap. The Great Western Railway runs on the embankment in the distance. Nikon D2Xs with an 85mm f/1.8 AF-D lens (comparable to 127mm in full frame). 100 ISO; f/8; 1/80th.

The sign 'Tytherton Village Hall' is in a typeface little used these days. Indeed the whole building, nicely maintained and a valuable amenity for the village, must be at least 50 years old and probably considerably more. Whereas once it might have been considered ugly and utilitarian in its old charm surroundings, now it conveys a sense of period and it cannot be long before the producers of the 'Miss Marple' dramas arrive to use it as a backdrop for some ladies wearing hats and stout shoes alighting from a Bedford coach with their shopping baskets.
