St Nicholas's church at Saintbury sits on a high vantage point overlooking the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border atop Saintbury Hill, though oddly enough when approached by steep ascent through the village keeps itself mostly hidden amongst the dense foliage until one stumbles upon a pathway through the trees that reveals an enticing doorway framed by leaves beyond.
The building is largely of 14th & 15th century date, though its origins are clearly much older as witnessed by the simple Norman doorways in the nave (the north side being the main entrance, that on the south side is blocked).
The interior preserves an atmosphere of antiquity in its fittings, with fragments of medieval glass in the east window and substantial pieces of post-Reformation mural decoration in the chancel (Biblical texts, uncovered only recently).
The church is no longer used for regular services and is vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. For more details see below:

Not entirely perfect, but I'm happy with it. This was my first block with triangles, so it was pretty challenging for me. Those little suckers are tough! I (obviously) left out the appliqued center circle, but the fault was mine. Cutting error led to only one piece of the red and I (of course) messed up cutting the circle.
Piecing fabrics around the beginnings of my block to see what I like :)

Blocking wires are a good tool, but I really hate threading them through garter stitch edgings. I used every t-pin but 7 in the house for this, and enjoyed every second of the pinning out process. I find it very soothing.
Once it's dry I'll graft it in the center. I've grafted large sections of stockinette, but never actual live lace. Theoretically it is the same, but there are those scary yarnovers I need to make sure I don't lose.
This is a really great knit. I love Anne Hanson's stuff.
