Pope blessing crowd at St. Peter's Square. This was the only time we saw the Swiss Guards in their colorful (jester-like) uniforms. The guards at the side gates were dressed in more normal looking military (working) light-blue uniforms. I didn't point a camera at them because they were carrying automatic weapons,rather than just spears, and were much closer.
The Petersfriedhof or St. Peter's Cemetery is - together with the burial site at Nonnberg Abbey - the oldest cemetery in the Austrian city of Salzburg, located at the foot of the Festungsberg with Hohensalzburg Castle. Its origins date back to about 700, when the adjacent St. Peter's Abbey (Stift St. Peter) was established by Saint Rupert of Salzburg. The abbey's cemetery, probably at the site of an even earlier burial place, was first mentioned in a 1139 deed, the oldest tombstone dates back to 1288.
Closed down in 1878, the site decayed, until in 1930 the monks of St. Peter's successfully urged for the admission of new burials.

The Church of St Peter & St Paul in Trottiscliffe built between 1077 and 1107 by Bishop Gundolph of Rochester. Today they Church sits in amongst farm buildings and I've used one of these to frame the shot.
On the occasions when the A12 is blocked north of Blyburgh, or just wanting a change, there is a main road running from Blyburgh to Beccles, and from there I can take the back roads to Haddiscoe and St Olaves to home.
It is some years since I last traveled this way, passing by the contract buses taking people to work at Bernard Matthews near Halesworth. Although I never worked for Bernie, I did 5 years in a chicken factory at Flixton, so I have been there on the bus taking me to a slaughterhouse.
The road winds its way westward, and at Brampton, skirts round the edge of St Peter as it climbs towards the village. I knew it was there, but until Jools had gone this way a few weeks ago and said there some interesting churches along here, I thought I would go this way too.
I parked just off the main road on the hairpin bend, dashed over the road. It was now dusk, or felt like it. Light was fading fast, and you could not alway rely on churches having lights, or the switches for light easy to find.
If truth be know, St Peter was very plain and in poor condition really, but good to see inside and good to find it unlocked.
I did like the ceiling mind, like the black ribs of the wooden struts.
-----------------------------------------
Way back in the 1990s, I came across St Peter almost by accident, rearing its head up on its mound at a fairly vicious bend in the Beccles to Blythburgh road. Thereafter, I often passed its stately landmark tower, but it wasn't until the late summer of 2008 that I finally came back here. It was open, as I fully expected - they pretty much all are around here. Back in 1998, it had been more of a surprise to me, not then knowing the variations in welcome and suspicion across the county.
On an earlier entry for this church I observed that, despite difficulties of access, this church, God bless it, was open. In all honesty there is not a great deal to see here, beyond admiring the exterior. This, I suppose, makes its being open all the more admirable, since it actually gives access for prayer rather than for tourists. All of which remains true today, although, as I also observed at the time, everything is pleasant enough; neat and trim, and well cared-for. One thing that is of more than mild interest is the piscina in the sanctuary, set low-down in the wall after the Victorian restoration raised the floor level. It has a credence shelf at the back, and another little alcove that Mortlock thought might be for towels. The George III coat of arms includes familiar words, but credits them as a text from the book of Samuel intended to support royal leadership of the church, which is unusual and interesting.
This is an interesting church for the student of Victorian stained glass, since it not only contains good glass by William Warrington, it is also the only church in Suffolk to contain work by his son James. But mostly, here is an ancient building being used in a lively manner by its local people, and I liked it for that.
I am afraid that my return visit was in something of a hurry. Brampton parish has its own railway station on the Ipswich to Lowestoft line, and at the end of a long day I was heading home, wanting to catch the next train which left in barely twenty minutes. Trains only go every two hours, so I did not want to miss it. But the station is a good two miles from this church, so it was with regret that I was only briefly able to enjoy the pleasing mid-Victorian ambience of the the interior, a well-kept and obviously much-loved rustic atmosphere that hasn't changed much in almost 150 years. I must go back soon.

The Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman in Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon, England, was built in 1226.
It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 6 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 28 June 1972.
The mediaeval church has Saxon origins with portions being built in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The aisle and the porch still have their carved wagon roofs however the roofs have fallen down over the rest of the building.
Around 1870 a new church, also dedicated to St Peter, was built nearby and this church fell into disrepair. It is still consecrated and occasional services are held in the church during the summer.
St. Peter's Seminary is a disused Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd and Coia. It has been abandoned since the end of the 1980s, and is currently in a ruinous state. (Wikipedia)
This is St. Peter in Chains Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, located along Plum Street in Downtown Cincinnati. Designed by architect Henry Walter, it was built between 1841 and 1845, the Greek Revival-style Church was the first Church of its size west of the Appalachian Mountains, and was built when the city was the only major population center not on the east coast. The church features a single white limestone spire above the main entry, with minimal details, which rises 224 feet above Plum Street, which was the tallest structure in the city for much of the 19th Century. Below the spire and around the front entryway is a colonnade 33 feet high, which encloses the portico on the front of the church, and Corinthian capitals that are unique in their appearance. The interior features Greek-themed mosaics, Corinthian columns, and large bronze doors, which sets it apart from most other Catholic cathedrals in the United States. The church is the third to be home to the diocese, having been originally located in the city’s first Catholic Church, known as Christ Church, before moving to the old St. Peter’s Cathedral in 1826. Within a decade, the old church was too small for the growing Catholic population of the city, and plans for the current church were put forth. By the 1930s, however, the church had become dilapidated and needed many repairs, leading to the diocese moving uptown to St. Monica’s Church in CUF in 1938, and the church’s decline continued for the next decade and a half as it was used as a parish church. However, in the mid-1950s, major work was undertaken on the structure under the leadership of Archbishop Karl Joseph Alter, and the church was restored, renovated, and expanded, modernizing the old structure and allowing the archdiocese to return to it, with rededication as a cathedral occurring in 1957. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and continues to be the seat of the Catholic Church in Cincinnati, which has long had a large Catholic population and is home to many spectacular parish churches and institutional buildings associated with the church.
St. Peter ad Vincula (St Peter in chains) is unusually entered from the north and unfortunately difficult to photograph from the south.
St. Peter's has a 60,000 capacity. From the entrance to the golden window behind the canopy is the distance of two football fields. The dove in the window has a wingspan of a 747.

St Peter's Church hidden along the northern promenade it is worth looking out for the lovely Franciscan church built by 12th-century Crusaders. The Muslims converted it into a mosque, and you can make out an area of uneven stone on the southern wall filling in the hole where a mihrab (prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca) was carved. Later, the Turks used the building as a caravanserai before it was rebuilt as a church in 1870. . Its two features are the boat-shaped nave, a nod to St Peter's piscatorial profession, and the courtyard built by the Polish soldiers stationed here during WWII.
Was my first new visit. I must have chosen to ignore this simple cruciform church of 1861 before. Today I found it quite charming, with an east apse and an impressive ironwork chancel screen. Double bellcote over the chancel arch. The seating is grey plastic stacking chairs - quite hideous - but the font is an enormous square bowl on stubby stem, the faces decorated with rosettes and containing a centrally placed relief.

The Rt. Rev. Alexander Gregg, Bishop of the Diocese of Texas, officiated at the dedication of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Rockport on November 30, 1871. Led by lay ministers for much of its early history, St. Peter's first was located at the corner of Live Oak and Wharf Streets near the railroad depot, where services often were halted due to the noise of arriving and departing trains. Relocated to this site in 1954, St. Peter's became a self-sustaining parish ten years later. It continues to serve the community with a variety of programs. (1991) (Marker No. 5078)
St. Peter’s played host to Pevensey in a first team match in the East Sussex Cricket League on 23 July 2011. The visitors won the toss and elected to bowl first. St. Peter’s scored 190 and then succeeded in bowling out Pevensey for 138 in 38.3 overs.
