St Peter Mancroft, Norwich
We all grew up surrounded by churches, I mean they were always there, but I for one took them for granted.
The parish church I christened in, St Michael's, Oulton, was an unremarkable church, but it was my parish church. I don't think I really noticed it had a dedication, or that the main church in Lowestoft had a different dedication, St Margaret's.
It has only been since I have photographing the churches of Kent, have I begun to really appreciate churches. I even notice churches when I travel, and love the churches of East Anglia. I wish I lived there now so I could visit all the nooks and crannies that were unknown to me and still are. It is only thanks to the internet and my contacts on Flickr that I now know that many churches exist.
St Peter mancroft s a church that I have always known was there, but I never entered it. I did snap it on one record hunting trip, at dusk as it towered over the old market place.
We received a wonderfully warm welcome inside. The churchwardens were just clearing up after 'messy church' but spared me the time to explain various memorials and interesting features. I was also lucky enough to have my good friend, mira66, with me, who pointed out so many wonderfully interesting features, not just inside here of the RC cathedral, but all over the city centre.
