Possible Church in Wissant, France

[CSwift]

Went for a trip with work to Wissant, beautiful place! I was amazed at the amount of derelict German bunkers around and about there! In Wissant itself, nestled up on a hillside, me and my GF found a beautiful derelict church/house... Not sure, has all the makings of a church so i'll stick it here for now

Very nicely done, nothing at all wrong with your photographs. As you say, there is an abundance of old German fortifications around Wissant and I will have to dig out some old maps, as I am not sure that this was a church as such. The ivy and undergrowth make identification from period photorecon images impossible as the book images are rather small. From old maps there was a large house and a religious building (monastery/nunnery?) in the immediate area.

You are right it does look like a church, I like images of nature reclaiming old buildings, I thoroughly enjoyed your report and getting such good pics from a camera phone is outstanding, My Thanks.
