I think it's good to visually record churches as well as other notable historic buildings at all stages of their evolution as buildings But, I really don't think that most English churches sell their windows or details. Most are listed buildings in the UK so are, by law not allowed to do this. Some disused churches are turned into domestic dwellings, which can save them from falling into disrepair and some are taken over and looked after by the trusts that keep the fabric of the buildings in repair.

Although I am a complete non believer in any form of religion, I also enjoy photographing churches for the historical and architectural value.

Thanks for the comments Vicki.

Waiting for the spring weather, so that I can revisit the project, it's too wet and miserable to traipse round churchyards at present.

Hopefully I'll get them all done this year.

I've 43 so far and their must be at least another 2 dozen or so to go.

Spirit willing, but the flesh is wet.

There's nothing worse than a dripping wet apparition.
