St Mary's Chapel, Lead, Yorkshire - November 2015

On my ongoing search for wonderful village churches we stumble into Yorkshire for a most excellent bit of roadside spotting, well I say roadside - this one is in the middle of a field.

St Mary's Chapel is Grade II listed and dates back to the 14th century, thought to be a chapel for a long gone medieval manor house, the chapel that remains is only 18 feet in length.

Restored between 1931 and 1934, the chapel is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust.

St Thomas' Church, Saddleworth - May 2015

If your not into your churches then scroll on, if you are I now have a few on my blog so just type in church in my little search box thing.

Anyway another off the radar church, closed and being looked after by a heritage group. Sadly Saddleworth is famous for all the wrong reasons and to be honest deserves to be explored.





This out of eye sight church was built in 1765 and closed in 1970. These days it is more known as a film and TV location for many productions, recent filming includes Jamaica Inn, Survivors and A Monster Calls.
