St Edith's Church, Monks Kirby
Much of the land that is Monks Kirby was at one time owned by the family of the Earl of Denbigh. The Dowager Countess of Denbigh, who married the 11th Earl of Denbigh, passed away recently. She was the mother of the present 12th Earl of Denbigh. Her funeral was here on Monday. 'Safe journey' home.
Here is the link for more Skywatch Friday photos: SKYWATCH FRIDAY.
Have a super weekend all.
NB. 'Dowager' is a widow who holds a title derived from her deceased husband.

does the flag always fly at half mast? we fly the flag here at half mast when there is some sort of tragedy...beautiful place that is!
I think you missed the paragraph at the end, Tanya. So I have added a sentence to make it clear there is more to read. Thanks - you helped me :).
I like the shots, but I'm not high on showing respect for inherited titles. Now if the Dowager had actually accomplished something in her own right ...
Paul...She did.
Wonderful photos of this church but also that bird landing - what a nice surprise when you opened the pictures on your computer! Also, an unusual capture with the flag at half-mast...a lovely choice for Skywatch Friday. (Thanks for the heads-up re: Petrea's comment, that is so cool!:)
I like your photos and the information about the Dowager. Happy SWF.
Rest in peace..
Thank you, Joyful...and nice of you to visit me.
Kind thoughts, Chieftess. Lovely.
I always love the old buildings and the history that goes with them. Modern life turns daily into history as well.
Petrea..this church dominates the skyline from afar. Amazing as you approach...will photograph someday. Like your thought re 'history'.
I always love it when I find a bird captured on a photo - it's the kind of thing you can't plan for.
