The leaning tower of Burnham-on-Sea

I'm revisiting some of the images I shot on my recent visit to Burnham-on-Sea, converting a number to black and white to see how they work. These images are of the parish church, St. Andrew's. Yes, the church tower is on the wonk - by the time you get to the top, it's three feet off the perpendicular. It's been like that pretty much from the day the tower was completed. Foundations of sand and all of that…

Temple Church - The Leaning Tower of Bristol

Temple Church, also known as Holy Cross Church, is a ruined church in Redcliffe, Bristol, England. It is on the site of a previous, round church of the Knights Templar, which they built on land granted to them in the second quarter of the 12th century by Robert of Gloucester. In 1313 the Knights Hospitaller acquired the church, following the suppression of the Templars. By the early 14th century, the church served as the parish church for the area known as Temple Fee. From around the same time, the rebuilding of the church on a rectangular plan started. This was completed by 1460, with the construction of a leaning west tower. The Hospitallers would lose ownership of the church in 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The church was the scene of the exorcism of George Lukins conducted by Methodist and Anglican clergy in 1788.
