at Beamish Museum
St. Helen's Church was relocated from Eston, deconstructed brick by brick then rebuilt in Beamish Museum. Some of the numbers still show on the bricks. The church was almost derelict and was due to be demolished until Beamish saved it. The oldest stones were from the 11th century.
The pews were from somewhere in Somerset. The parishioners paid a fee to use a row of seats and had their names on a plaque on the wall next to the seats..

ReplyDeleteI love that they saved that church by taking it apart and rebuilding it elsewhere. I love the little doors at the end of the church pews. I once featured a church here in Hartford that was the first church in the area to do away with the practice of paying for a pew. Love the drawings (as always!)
ReplyDeleteOh what a varied and wonderful post. I'm loving your black and white which ways.
ReplyDeleteIf I want to put a smile on my face, I know where to turn - to Lins Arty Blobs!
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humour is great. I love the charming mouse all dressed up in her finest jewels and the gold rush bar!
