Ranworth Church (St Helen's) has a history that goes back over 900 years but most is from the 14th & 15th century. The painted medieval screen from the 15th century is the most complete and best example in the country. It is located on the edge of Ranworth Broad in Norfolk and popular with travellers in boats.

The First Baptist Church in America, also known as the First Baptist Meetinghouse, is the oldest Baptist congregation in America, founded by Roger Williams in 1638. Its present meetinghouse was first occupied in 1775. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960.
The building was designed by astronomer and amateur architect Joseph Brown. Brown's design borrowed significantly from the designs English architect James Gibbs published in his 1728 Book of Architecture. The church's steeple, for example, is an exact execution of one of three unbuilt designs for the spire of St Martin-in-the-Fields. (Wikipedia)
A lot of old churches in this part of Fredericton, New Brunswick. I loved the blue, here, and the near symmetry. I wasn't sure how to approach the shot. I think I got it wrong on some level.
Frederik's Church popularly known as The Marble Church as it is designed by the architect Nicolai Eigtved in 1740 and was along with the rest of Frederiksstad, a district of Copenhagen, intended to be a monument to the 300 jubilee of the first crowning of a member of the House of Oldenburg
This very tiny church is a popular place to stop at and take a few photos. My daughter and I called in two days ago, 29 September 2014, when we spent the day driving out to the Drumheller and the Badlands area and exploring a few places.
"Drumheller's LITTLE CHURCH Seating 10,000 people - 6 at a time. This church was first erected by local contractor Trygve Seland, in co-operation with the Ministerial Association in 1968 and was reconstructed by inmates of the Drumheller Institution in 1991. It was designed as a place of worship and mediation and not just a tourist attraction. Please treat it with respect. Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce." The Little Church has six one-person pews and a pulpit. At one time, it had stained glass windows and a brass bell in its steeple.

This old church sits abandoned and decaying which is sad to see as it looks like it would have been quite beautiful back in the day. This is the side view, the front facade is overgrown with vines and barely visible. However that gives me a good reason to go back in the winter for another visit when the vegetation has died back.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Once a glorious Medieval church, St Andrew’s now lies in picturesque ruin by the sea, with only the lofty 14th century tower (preserved as a sea mark) and a curtain of original walling surviving.
A smaller thatched-roof church, built in 1672 when the inhabitants were given permission to dismantle the older church and still in use, nestles inside the ruins.
One hopes that the rapidly encroaching sea will leave this lovely place to be enjoyed for a few more decades.
Walkhampton Church basks in the early sunlight on the western edge of Dartmoor National Park. Thanks for looking - Mk.
The White Church stands unshadowed by any rival building as though its business is to capture the radiance of the Sun. This unique church commands an unrivalled interest in the area: its dome is of Edwardian construction, hanging by wires and evoking interest among architects and structural engineers; the stained-glass windows, acknowledged to hold a high place in examples of the craft, illustrating key moments of the Old and New Testaments and history of the Church; and furnishings, including the Pulpit Cross, all stand witness to the distinctive variety of the Christian Faith that stands behind them.
The Church of St Michael in the Parish of Lapworth, Warwickshire.
With a history going back to the 13th century this church is still in use today.
Was officially opened on 7th September 1738 and is one of Norway’s best preserved churches from the Baroque period. The church is richly decorated by Erik Wallin in 1740-45. Knut Haugland was the former guide in the church and has written the book about Sollia church. He died 87 years old, and was guiding till his last year. A youger citizen of the Sollia community has now taken over the guide service (must be ordered in advance, unless joining Venabu's guided tours on Friday afternoons in summer).
The history of how the area was first settled by four families and their treks across the mountains to the church in Ringebu prior to the building of Sollia church is a fascinating story, even to those not usually keen on church visits!!
It’s a story of the determination of one man and a local population following tragic deaths in the mountains.
The Church of Winwalloe shelters behind a huge prehistoric cliff castle, and was originally established in the 6th century by a Breton saint of the same name. The buildings visible today were built in the 13th century, with a distinct separate bell tower in the cliff itself. The golden sands of Church Cove nestle at its side.
