The UK is full of a thousand years of churches and chapels. They have been through many theological inspired changes and remain a source of peace and inspiration to both christians and non believers.

Plymouth - St Andrew's Minster - Thursday 20th February 2025
What a fabulous find this was, right next to the coach pick up place. The lady from the church was ever so helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the minster. www.standrewschurch.org.uk/visit-us/history/
From the outside St Andrews has retained its 15th century appearance.
The 1950s stained glass looks wonderful and vibrant, a true work of art.
After the bombing rubble was cleared, and lawns and flower beds built for worship in a garden church - wonderful!
The church with a modern day layout. A very peaceful place next to a busy city centre.
Buckfast Abbey - Thursday 20th February 2025
Buckfast Abbey - Thursday 20th February 2025
The original abbey dated from 1018 and continued until its dissolution in 1539. The current abbey was built by the monks from 1906 to 1938. During the first world war some of the monks were Germans, they were confined to the abbey grounds, which must have been much better than internment. www.buckfast.org.uk/
From the outside it is hard to believe that the abbey is less than 100 years old.
This light must look amazing at night. Look how clean and new the walls are.
A model of the abbey and its associated buildings.
A very interesting exhibition room outlining the history of the abbey and the calling of the monks.
Exeter Cathedral - Tuesday 18th February 2025
Exeter Cathedral - Tuesday 18th February 2025
More than 600 years old, what a magnificent building www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/ . So lucky to visit when the Museum of the Moon exhibition was on.
The original Normal style cathedral was replaced by this decorated gothic style church it was completed around 1400.
Fabulous history video with an illustration of what they feel the cathedral would have looked like in 1400.
Luke Jerram's Museum of the Moon is truly awesome, yet a simple idea, print the moon on a huge balloon. www.lukejerram.com/
The astronomical clock is dated at 1484, the year before Henry Tudor landed in Pembrokeshire and went on to defeat Richard III.
