Croome Court

It's been a bit blowy today, though dry.  We drove out to Croome Court for a coffee.  It was surprisingly busy and the bells were ringing in the church.

Whilst there we took a little walk to the church; Ann went for a longer walk and I hung around and took some photos in the church and the view of the Malverns.

I've put together a little collage from the church, which does not hold services anymore, the engraving on the plaque are the ten commandments.

The original church at Croome was demolished by the 6th Earl of Coventry when he decided to replace his adjacent Jacobean house in the 1750s. His new house and park were designed and laid out by Capability Brown as was the church, set on a low hill nearby in Croome Park as an 'eye catcher'. The views out to the Malvern Hills on a clear day are spectacular.
