I am enchanted with old churches that have unique windows, doors, and bell towers and this church had it all.
Notice how the vines are starting to grow across the steps. I am not sure it is being used anymore.
The little round window at the top of the tower looks into the bell tower. Can't you just imagine the view from up there. I would volunteer to ring the bell every
Sunday.
If you look closely you can see the bell in the tower.
I thought the arch details in the windows and above the door was so simple but yet so beautiful. I would love to find some salvage pieces like these doors and windows to hang in my home.
Every time I see a little church like this I am reminded of that old song "Come to the Church in the Wildwood". I added the song to the bottom of my playlist if you aren't familiar with it or would just like to hear the song.
Have a peaceful weekend.

Ah memories when life was more simple. Pretty church. Lovely song was playing by Frank. I used to play Come To The Church In The Wildwood on my organ - years ago! The church looks pretty maintained except for the ivy.
I hope your back gets better soon -sorry you fell.
Love your write. I have a passion for churches, barns & countryside ... can't you just hear the voices raising in song?
Have a warm wonderful weekend. TTFN ~ Marydon

Stella, quick note; I'm catching up on my faves. I hope you are feeling better. Lovely of you to share this post when you're kind of not at your level best.
Take care. Don't fall down any more.
Hi Stella....
What a sweet old church...I can picture the congregation all dressed up and chatting with each other on their way into the service. I hope it's still being used. It would be so sad if it weren't.
Have a wonderful week!
Blessings,
