Symmetry Saturday at St. Michael Episcopal

I am a big fan of red brick.  St. Michael St. Michael  is beautiful
The front entrance is breathtaking.


This is St. Michael's Annex.  It is a Mini St. Michael
It's proper title is the Canterbury Gift Shop Canterbury Gift Shop
All proceeds go toward outreach programs.


The steeple is a separate structure on the ground.
My guess would be because the church structure

    Having the bell tower separate is actually a very ancient practice and most medieval churches would have had this arrangement originally. The Chichester cathedral I visited last year still has its standing. That entry you show is indeed magnificent! YAM xx

  2. That is a good looking church, but it is the bell tower that particularly catches my eye.

  3. that entrance is spectacular and those are the thinnest brick posts I have ever seen. to me what makes it so beautiful is the glass windows on either side. awesome shots of it. the bell tower is very similar to one church we have here, the church is nothing like this one but has a tower with bells like this... really a beautiful building. you will love my cousins new home that is posted today.. red brick all the way

  5. Dearest Cecilia,
    That sure is a special construction and beautiful bricks.
    Having a steeple separate, as e.g. in Italy where we worked and lived, is due to earthquake danger.

  10. That's a very elegant entrance.
    If you like red brick then you would love Nottingham, the town where I grew up.
    I used to think red brick was boring, because in the English Midlands that's what almost all the buildings are constructed from. Now I live in the 'Granite City' and seeing red brick makes me feel nostalgic!
    Cheers, Gail.
