The Church in the Fields-, (pip)

The harvest is in but the festival will have to be elsewhere, this is Buittle Parish church lit by late evening sun.

The long history of this ‘Church in the Fields’, going back via the adjacent ruined building to the royal chapel of C13th King John Balliol, lends atmosphere to this lovely rural church. Which was originally Roman Catholic and later became Church of Scotland.
The church closed in 2010 and is now up for sale,

I prefer the image large.

Bien presentada la iglesia rural de Campos en ruinas. Supongo que estará catalogada como valor histórico a mantener, parece que fue mayor que la nueva.

A very smart church with clean lines Roger. I like the lady walking through the field, maybe Carol? Your PiP is also beautiful and perfectly placed within the main shot.

I love the way the church is surrounded by such a large, lovely golden field and yet is so clearly silhouetted against the deep blue sky. So perfect.
What does a church like that go for? I can't imagine.

Roger (Grisly) replied to Deborah Lundbech:

Many thanks Deborah, not as much as one would imagine I suspect because of conversion costs and the providing off or upgrading of mains services, plus the fact that has been on the market a while indicates difficult covenants.

A terrific shot Roger. Love the lines in the newly harvested field and the new church right next to the ruins of the old one.

The 'person' in the field gives a lovely feeling of wide open space. I love it

Nice comments, thank you, but I fear that person in the field has already been identified ;-))
