Lower Heyford Church

This wonderful little 12th Century church is constructed in a mixture of Cotswold and Hornton stone. It just loves to be photographed and as you can see looks wholly different at different times of the day and in different lights. Here are just some of my many images and of course every one is very idividual. One of the pleasures of photographing this building is the many opportunities for changing the geometry of the gravestones by just moving a couple of feet or changing the focal length of the lens a fraction.

Elevation

I needed steps to get this elevation - not often seen - but the winter sun was so attractive it made it worthwhile. This lovely church smiles in all seasons.An even higher elevation would be desirable but my steps are not reliable on the soft ground and a vantage point further from the church would save having to use a very wide angle lens which plays havoc with the relative sizes of the nave and the tower. Well worth a visit or an A3+ print!
