As I finished up a bloke on a sit on mower with a face like a hen's ass started to mow round the entrance.
Didn't even get a grunt out of him - friendly place!

Off down the A1 I saw this Rusting water tower and detoured to have a look.
As I was standing under this derelict water tower (a monument to RAF Connington) and getting up the courage to climb the ladder, I suddenly felt strange almost dizzy as if the ground was moving underneath me. I thought that's weird maybe it's an omen not to climb up. Then I noticed that the concrete plinth I was standing on was attached to the ladder but not the ground. I made the executive decision to move on!

Back in my comfort zone I visited The ruined church at Ayot St Lawrence.
This has been posted before so I won't overkill on the history.
Suffice it to say the local landowner hated this place and had it artistically ruined so he didn't have to look at it from his stately home any more. He then built an ostentatious new one over in his fields but I'll deal with that later.

Think this is for Holy Water so you can mark yourself with the sign of the cross as you enter.

As I left I saw this across the field

It's the new church the good folks of Ayot St Lawrence were gifted - over the top or what?
