181/365 St Pauls Church

St Pauls Church, Scotfirth Lancaster

 

St Paul's was designed by Edmund Sharpe, an architect who established a practice in Lancaster in 1836. He was joined in 1845 by Paley, who with Austin designed over 400 churches, schools and public buildings in north west England. The Church was opened in 1876 and in 1890-91 the west end of the church was extended, and transepts were added by Paley, Austin and Paley. The church is in Romanesque style and is faced on the outside with local gritstone, and with yellow terracotta dressings. This is in my opinion typical of Lancaster with the yellowy stone and is my local church ! Totally out of my comfort zone, being a building and I don't have a wide angled lens...yet..so using my 18-55mm and the perspective control in Lightroom, I am reasonably pleased with the result !!
