Costwolds wandering, day 1

First stop was Woolstone Church, which, due to having been built on unstable ground, looks like an elaborate cake that has been nudged in different directions but a succession of cheeky giants. The tower leans one way, the window above the altar looks as if it was set in a building in a different universe. No right angles, or plumb lines here! We arrived as a group of trianee bellringers were about the practiser so once they had tipped the bells up, they played a practise round for me. I recorded it on the trusty iPhone. Photo later, 'though I don't think one pic will do justice to its wibbly wobblyness.
Then on to Tewkesbury, cathedral and the two rivers. Clearly, the fabric of Tewkesbury Cathedral was severely damaged during the dissolution of the monasteries, and was lovingly recreated during the reformation, and since, although much of the exquisite stonework has been lost or damaged beyond repair, still a lovely place.
It was a bit chilly, so after eating our sandwiches beside the Severn, we hopped back in the car and started tiki touring. Stopped in Winchcombe and had a stroll, well more of a walk realy, from the town to the Sudely Castle Gatehouse and back into town. It was mid afternoon so the sun was catching Dents Terrace, pic here and more info at http://www.ukattraction.com/heart-of-england/dents-terrace.htm
