I will do my best to go back and take all the Saints and the other ceiling details. I only noticed how stunning it was when we were about to leave.
Thank you everyone for the favourites. :O)
St, Giles's church at Imber - almost the last surviving structure in the village - the rest being destroyed by the army in training exercises. Imber has been unpopulated since 1943 when the residents were ordered out. The church dates from the 14th. and 15th. centuries and is Grade I listed.

We continue our exploration of Forest Park Il. Moving out of Forest Lawn Cemetery and back to the land of the living. We go about half a mile east down Harrison where we ecounter St. Bernadine Catholic church. It's a beautiful old church with some nice architectural ornamentation.
Across the street we find a different sort of house of worship with the Ferrara Pan Candy factory and store. For those who seek their spiritual salvation through sweet treats this is Mecca. Since they moved out here from Taylor street in the 1950's the Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, Lemon Heads, Jawbreakers and all their delectable creations have been rolling out by the truck road.
We have also posted a video of this church on ChiTownView.
