A Haunting Place

Knowlton Church dates back to the 12th century and is reputed to be the most haunted location in Dorset, if not the country. Sacred standing stones, which had been on the site for centuries before, were broken up in order to build the church.

 

The local population was decimated by the black death in the 15th century and when the roof collapsed in the 18th century the church ceased to be used. Paranormal investigations have taken place in the church and for those interested, there is an easy to find web site dedicated to such things. It sent a shiver down my spine when I read about Knowlton.

 

The church is seen in its natural colouring while the surrounding area has been desaturated. What looks a little spooky to me is the effect of the long exposure on the clouds. It makes it look suspiciously like something other worldly is emanating from the Tower.

 

An excellent site for some night time astro photography but I’m thinking I might give some other places a go first!

 

Thanks as always for your interest and support.
