Church Gates

I took one of the gates for my gates project but I liked the one with the tower best. 
St Mary's church Kippax is over 1000 years old, an extract from its history shows this:-   Although a church at Kippax is mentioned in Domesday Book it is certain that the use of the site for worship and burial extends back to more remote periods. In the 1870’s a Roman coffin was found – possibly re-used – beneath the nave of the church during its restoration. The whole of the tower was originally of herringbone masonry, but owing to the crumbling of the upper portion, it was restored in the late 1800's. 

It has quite a history to it.
