After excitedly writing about my new project, the Somerset Towers, I got off to a few weekends ago by visiting five churches. I chose some of the easiest ones to begin with, and started near Bristol. One of my first visits was the Church of St Mary and St Peter, Winford.
I was lucky enough to be able to speak to a couple of the members of the congregation in the churchyard who shared some of the local history with me, and then I met the rector who kindly showed me round the inside of the church. As I was leaving the churchyard, an elderly gentleman stopped me in the street for a chat. I’m not sure what’s in the water at Winford, but everyone is very friendly!
