St Augustines Church, Rugeley, Staffordshire added to Places of Worship in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 28/12/2022

St Augustine’s Church, which was opened in 1823 by the Bishop of Chester. It was built as a replacement for the original parish church, which had become too small for the town’s growing congregation and was in a poor state of repair. The remains of the original church can be seen on the other side of the road.

A new high-quality chancel at the east end of the church was proposed and would contain an altar and seats for the clergy and choir. In 1905 Lady Alexander Paget laid the foundation stone. The stone contains a time capsule that has a George III crown coin retrieved from the foundation stone of the 1823 church.

The present chancel with its flanking lady chapel, two vestries and organ gallery was designed by Frank L. Pearson. The stained glass of the east window is the work of the well-known designer C.E. Kemp.

The total cost of the chancel, which was dedicated on 29 June 1906 by the Bishop of Lichfield, was £4,961 19s 7d. The Earl of Lichfield donated the building stone. A new oak pulpit was dedicated as a memorial to Rugeley benefactress Sarah Hopkins, whose legacy provided £2,000 of the building cost.

Parking is available in the nearby Aldi carpark adjacent to St Augustine Field.

Marine Hotel, Troon (By gaamuk)

A prominent landmark on a beautiful coastline, the hotel overlooks the 18th hole on the Old Course at Royal Troon and has views over the Firth of Clyde to the isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig.

This location is within Prestwick Airport's flight restriction zone, so permission is required from ATC via Air Portal. The Duty manager at the hotel was happy for me to use the hotel grounds for TOAL, and there is a public road nearby if this is a probem for you.

Gardenstown, Gardenstown and King Edward (By kvetner)

Gardenstown is one of a series of villages along the north coast of Aberdeenshire, all characterised by a spectacular and precipitous drive down to the shoreline, and picturesque homes along the seafront.

I used the signed free car park to the east of the harbour. If you choose to park at the west end of the seafront, the roadway is often very narrow and has an unshielded steep drop to the seaward edge. It's especially hard to reverse along safely if you meet a vehicle coming the way, so I'd recommend not going that way.

Pennan, New Pitsligo (By kvetner)

Pennan is one of a series of villages along the north coast of Aberdeenshire, all characterised by a spectacular and precipitous drive down to the shoreline, and picturesque homes along the seafront. It's possibly the best known, due to being featured in the film Local Hero, but I think it's less interesting than Crovie and Gardenstown.

There was a "no drone zone" sign on the village hall, so I flew from a neighbouring beach to be discreet. But be warned: it's a really tricky and dangerous scramble across fallen rocks to get there.

Crovie (By kvetner)

Crovie is one of a series of villages along the north coast of Aberdeenshire, all characterised by a spectacular and precipitous drive down to the shoreline, and picturesque homes along the seafront.

There is limited parking on the seafront itself, but as there's not much space, the residents prefer visitors to use one of the two car parks on the approach road.

I flew from a bench next to the coastal park which heads west towards Gardenstown.

Footdee, Aberdeen, Hanover South (By kvetner)

Footdee, pronounced "Fitty", is a picturesque historic fishing village at the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour.

Despite the number of tourists traipsing through, it's a residential neighbourhood, so I suggest fly with respect to privacy.

It's probably a good spot to catch big boats entering or leaving the harbour, although it was fairly quiet when I visited.
