St Lawrence's Church - Broughton, Buckinghamshire

This church is just around the corner from where I live and the key can be collected from the Old Rectory accessible via a wooden gate just behind the church.

The photos show the exterior of the church as well as the intricate wall paintings including St George slaying the dragon.  It was incredibly quiet inside and a queen bee was looking for somewhere to hibernate and sounded about 10 times louder than it really was.

It was a sunny October day and the stained glass really looked beautiful as it shone colours throughout the Church.

I took some HDR (high dynamic range) photos which really show the detail of the stone and wall paintings well, I do hope you enjoy them.
