St Andrews Church, Weston added to Places of Worship in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 24/12/2022

Grade II* Parish church of C13, restored in 1825, 1860 by G.G. Scott and 1872 by Butterfield.

MATERIALS: Ashlar with tooled C19 masonry to the chancel, tile roofs, except for copper roof of south aisle.

PLAN: Aisled nave and chancel, west tower, south porch and north-east vestry.

EXTERIOR: The broad 2-stage early C13 tower has moulded strings, massive clasping buttresses and internal south-west turret. The large lancet west window has a double-chamfered surround, with smaller lancets on north and south sides. Tripartite arcading in the upper stage has blind outer arches, and inner arches subdivided and with louvres. The parapet and octagonal stone spire with lucarnes were added in the 1830s. The remainder of the exterior is almost entirely C19. The nave has 3-bay aisles under lean-to roofs, with 2-light and 3-light Decorated windows, and paired and triple clerestorey windows with trefoil heads. The tall buttressed porch has re-used C13 trefoil-headed entrance, and nave doorway with nook shafts. The re-faced chancel has aisles under lean-to roofs, with re-used 2-light Decorated windows and blind south doorway. The east wall has triple lancets separated by deep buttresses, with a small quatrefoil window in the gable. The gabled north-east vestry has diagonal buttresses.

HISTORY: The west tower is early C13 and the arcades and chancel arch only slightly later. Chancel arcades appear to date from the erection of aisles in 1825, although it has been argued that the piers are C13 but altered in the C19. The chancel was re-faced and re-roofed in the 1840s. The original nave north aisle was taken down in 1685, but the arcade was preserved. A new aisle had been built in 1825 but it was replaced in 1860 by George Gilbert Scott (1811-78). The south aisle was rebuilt and widened in 1872 by William Butterfield (1829-99), who also heightened the nave by adding a clerestorey, with trademark polychrome interior decoration, adding a north vestry and rebuilding the porch using old masonry.

TOAL was from the Church Carpark, which is also open for parking.

Marsh Road Spalding (By Sammie99)

Drive as far down Marsh Road as you can. There are two concrete areas either side of the road which provide handy parking, watch out for the power lines over head. I don't know what this building's function is or was, I just thought it looked interesting.

Victoria Park, Haywards Heath (By grandad1950)

I didn't expect the fair to be there but it makes a good image.

The park is used for many events throughout the year and gives good views across the town.

Braemar, Highland Scotland (By AlbionDrones)

The small town/village of Braemar, bisected by the Vlune Water, and nestled in the Cairngorm.

Sdly it as extremely windy on ou visit, so I only managed a short flight, but the river is stunning, there are plenty of historic buildings, and being surrounded by woodland and mountains - with a Caastle in the distance it makes for a fine subject...

There are good car parking options, a few decent shops to look around and several TOAL options, marked on the map, feel free to ad other markers as you find them...

Dalnaglar Castle, Glen Shee (By AlbionDrones)

A stunning Baronial Castle glimpsed from the roadside.

Park up in the car park for the Clach na Coileach, and you can see the castle at about 500m away, behind some trees. Best approach would be to fly a little down the glen, then turn and fly up to the castle, with it being visible rather than being hidden by trees, but as can be seen I was chancing the mizzly weather, so wanted to keep the flight time to an absolute minimum...
