Elaborate west front

The remains of one of the first Augustinian priories in England, founded c.1100. An impressive example of early Norman architecture, built in flint and reused Roman brick, the church displays massive circular pillars and round arches and an elaborate west front. Later badly damaged by cannon fire during the Civil War siege of 1648.

My, that took some work, Ken.
A fine shot in what looks like hardly the easiest of circumstances.

Very nicely composed image with a very good perspective. This really shows the textures of the old masonry so well. "V"
