Village Podzhigorodovo, Klin Raion, Moscow Oblast, Russia
The church was built in 1778-1783 by two brothers Yurevyh, local noblemen who had a large manor here. It's believed that the architect was the famous Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov. Unusual two-story church with the winter church on the first floor and the summer church on the second floor. The exterior was plastered and whitewashed in 1906.
The last owner of the Podzhigorodovo manor was nobleman Vladimir Sokolov. He was a revolutionary and his party nickname was Volsky. Vladimir Lenin visited Sokolov before the 1917 revolution. There's a photo of Lenin playing chess with Sokolov in his Podzhigorodovo manor house.
Olga remembers climbing the bell tower as a child. The church was used then to store chemical fertilizer. She still recalls the smell of the fertilizer and the treacherous circular staircase.
The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. Services are presently held in the first floor winter church. The second floor summer church has not been restored. Like many rural churches in Russia, the Church of Archangel Michael is undergoing slow restoration and still dominates the surrounding landscape.
One of four photos I took today as I went to a Christmas Concert, with 8 friends . It was an annual Christmas Concert with Free-will offering to raise money to go towards Out of the Cold Program.

Village Shestakovo, Volokolamsk Raion, Moscow Oblast, Russia
Repurposed in 1930. Returned to the Russian Orthodox Church c 2000 (uncertain of this statement). Church grounds now fenced off. However, no restoration work visible.
I'd have liked to have taken a photo of the back of the church, but there was a car parked right in the way.
I'd never noticed this tiny window before.

There has been a church in the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Bythorn since the 12th century, but this building dates mainly from the 13th and 14th centuries.
Like most English parish churches, there have been numerous alterations and additions over the centuries. The nave was probably rebuilt towards the end of the 13th century, when a north aisle was added, but, notwithstanding the presence of a 13th-century piscina, it is doubtful whether the chancel was rebuilt at this time. Early in the next century a south aisle was added, and about 1345 the chancel was rebuilt and widened to the south, and the north aisle rebuilt. The clearstory was built in the 15th century, and the north chapel early in the 16th century.
