There are a lot more photos in my Flickr Prestbury Set
A sepia and bleach bypass treated image of St Peter’s church. The building dates from 1220 and is entirely constructed with stone quarried from near by Kerridge, as are many of Prestbury’s older ‘store’ roofs. The yard is very well kept and extremely attractive with lots of shapely pollarded yews and many other beautiful trees including a 700 year old yew, and one of the largest beech trees I have ever seen. Please also visit my Prestbury Cheshire page for more pix
Prestbury Norman Chapel. May 2012
Image treated to simulate tilt-shift lens effect. The Norman Chapel is situated in the grounds of St Peter’s and stands on the site of Prestbury’s ancient Saxon village church. The chapel has undergone many renovations over the years, but the doorway and the carved figures above it are original features dating from the early 12th century.
