Hi Brian,

What Chris said about the roof.

It is a small church (small village) and the fact that the stonemasons spared 
nothing in the ornate nature of their work may lead
the viewer to associate it with larger scale buildings. I don't think that 
there is any distorted perspective to mislead.

I would like to see the inside but, due to its location just a few miles from 
the edge of town, it is kept locked. Most of the 
locked churches have a sign informing would be visitors where the key is held 
and this church is probably no exception. However, I 
shy away from knocking on the doors of rather grand houses, where the keys are 
invariably held, looking like a mud spattered hobo 
(winter) or a beach bum (summer) :-)

Thanks for looking.

--Graham
