Fairford Photos
I make no apologies for the fact that most of these photos illustrate
St Mary's church in Fairford; it is truly a wonderful piece of architecture,
and well worth a visit.
One of the older sections of Fairford,
just at the bottom of High Street. |

One of the marvellous medieval stained
glass windows at St Mary's, Fairford. Even if you're not generally
a fan of medieval architecture, you'll enjoy wandering about this
wonderful "wool church". |
Another photo of the south porch
and tower of St Mary's, Fairford. |

It is easy to be so awed by the stained
glass at Fairford that you overlook the rest of the church. That
would be a mistake, as this shot of the quite lovely woodwork
leading from the north aisle to the chancel shows. |
Tiddles the cat, located just outside
the south porch entry to St Mary's church.
