Colinton Church
There has been a church hereabouts since 1095 (see the date on the gate). The present church is a modern (1908) rebuilding and extension of the 1771 church. Whatever the dates, it's a lovely solid parish church in the hilly suburb of Colinton.
Pictures are so beautiful! Love the stone walls, the colour of the boxtrees, the play of light and shadows. The green of the pox trees, the pink flowers.

ReplyDeleteIt is a very beautiful building. makes you wonder how the original church looked like. You have such a rich and long history there in your part of the world.

What a grand history! Lovely springtime pictures and nice to see the sun has visited you again after the haar last week.
ReplyDeleteA splendid doorway and vista opens a small inside but enough to exalt the imagination.
