St Edward's Church - 1890

Church_news

If you zoom in you will see the two steeplejacks at the top of the spire - they are working with no scaffolding, only a ladder and some rope! They are gilding, or repairing the cockerel on the weathervane. The trees in the foreground are still there and looking good, the wall unfortunately is not looking so well, the railings are long gone! No fear and I am guessing this was before insurance! What a moment in history captured!
