Continuing the run at Worcester Park, this fine Wellingtonia was captured in St. Mary's Road, a rough lane off The Avenue, just before you get to the church of St. Mary the Virgin. Not a Roman church, as the name might suggest, but a proper Anglican church.
A fine, handsome tree which rather dominates the front garden of the house concerned. BH would never buy such a house, even if she is coming around to the merits of the trees.
Once again, we failed to get inside, with both church and church hall firmly shut up. Maybe we shall have to wait for the next relevant heritage day. With such a thing having got us inside ten years ago, as noticed at reference 3 - notice which suggests that we should not get too excited about what we are going to find inside.
The full spire. Made of lead sheeting covering a timber or iron interior? Odd how the colour mix has completely changed from that of the previous snap.
Students of architecture might like to ponder on the merits of various sizes of spire - given that one might be thinking that this small one is a bit silly when compared to a proper spire on top of a tower - but it does seem to work nonetheless. A touch of decoration to finish off the roof line. Not to mention the Freudian aspects, which people from the chattering classes liked to point up back in the 1960's.
