All Saints Church, Saltfleetby.

 I posted some photo's taken at Saltfleet Haven a while ago, a short distance away is the village of Saltfleetby.

The parish church there is All Saints, I've always been interested in the small, often redundant parish Churches.  They have a charm of their own, with an atmosphere not found in larger Churches and Cathedrals. 

All Saints Church, Saltfleetby, is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Saltfleetby All Saints, Lincolnshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands in the marshland of Lincolnshire, and has a leaning west tower.

The church dates from the 12th century, with alterations and additions in each of the following three centuries, in 1611, and in 1873. Inside are fragments of a building probably dating to about 1150. It was built in the Early English and Perpendicular styles. It was repaired in 1886 by R. J. Withers. The church was declared redundant in November 1973, and was vested in the Redundant Churches Fund (the forerunner of the Churches Conservation Trust) during the same year.

The tower at this church has been leaning for many years.

The south porch façade appears to lean outwards too.

Inside All Saints the Knave is unconventional as it has central pillars dividing it with
a chapel on either side.  This might be because of alterations and extensions to it in 
the past but I've not seen that before.  There's also no decorated East Window.
I think this south side is a later addition to a smaller church.

The Chancel on the South side has a plain carved screen separating it from the choir area.

A plain table serves as an alter and the latticed gothic window lights it.
A lot of these small country churches have plain glass windows with leaded lights
which I prefer to the usual stained glass sort.   

I don't know what the plant is but there were several around in this Church.
I'm sure someone will advise me what it's called.

A view from the north aisle chapel looking back to the west end of the Knave.

This lovely font stands near the south entrance door.  It's intriguing to think of all the 
Christenings that have taken place here over many centuries. 

More of the plain latticed windows allowing a clean white light into this area decorated
with more of the plants.

Another view from the north west corner looking across the knave. A carved screen separates
the north aisle from a second Chancel, and there is an east window which might suggests
this was the original Knave?

The Eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted a visitor apparently entering the Church?

It's only Popcorn waiting patiently for me to finish.

Memories of Spring 2024.

 A few photo's taken on different days back in April this year.

Some Hawthorn Blossom in the lane at Grainsby.

Cherry blossom at Haverstoe Park in Cleethorpes.

Fresh, new leaves, I always enjoy seeing them.

A warm day was bringing these Ladybirds out of their winter hideaways.

Squirrel collecting fir cones.  This is a large chainsaw carving, approx. 4 feet tall. 

Bluebells up at Beesby Wood.

I'm not familiar with these trees but they always have a lovely display of blossom
along this stretch of country lane.

Cowslips.

They were all along the bankside on this lane.

Panoramic view from near Ravendale, overlooking the Wolds and Binbrook.

Cherry blossom (I think).

Varying shades of new leaves emerging on this small copse of trees.

Finally, I took this photo on my mobile phone while in the queue at my local fish & chip shop. 
Marklews is a long established business in Grimsby & Cleethorpes.

Humberston Fitties, Marine Walk.

 Popcorn & I had a walk along the Fitties in the early morning sun, back in September.  On this occasion we walked in the opposite direction to our usual walk along Marine Embankment.

I'm beginning to run out of recent photo's but have taken a lot this summer so will have to dip into my archives of earlier 2024 pics soon for future posts.

This is the Buck Beck outfall which runs through Cleethorpes from the Lincolnshire
Wolds and into the Humber Estuary at the Fitties.

A few small saltwater lagoons in the dunes.

Looking toward Cleethorpes, the Yorkshire coast can be seen on the far bank of the estuary.

A Little Egret looking for small crabs and shrimps in a saltwater lagoon.  The lagoons
dry out in drought conditions but are then topped up again on the next extra high tide.

These static holiday caravans have views out over the estuary.

Driftwood washes up on the beach regularly.

You may not be able to spot why I apparently took a photo of a bare sky?
A large skein of Geese came over, if you're viewing this on a PC monitor or laptop
you'll be able to see them.  I love to see and hear the Geese going out in the morning
and returning at dusk.

Dogs aren't allowed on the main beaches at Cleethorpes but they are on the Fitties.
It's just hoped their owners clear up after them.

In the distance are moored yachts on the beach where we usually walk.

Haile Sand Fort, seen framed by a breakwater.

I very rarely take photographs where there's any children about, this little one is facing
away so not a problem.  I think mum on the left was keeping an eye on me but didn't object.  

This is where we usually begin our walk.

Cleethorpes is "just" visible in the distance.

This creek changes it's shape but will be familiar to you if you've seen my other
posts from the Fitties.

A view of the caravans at Thorpe Park to show how close they are to the beach here.
In the distance the small white building is Cleethorpes Pier.
