🏛️ A Living Legacy of Early Christianity

This Coptic Orthodox Church traces its roots to Saint Mark the Evangelist (1st century AD), making it one of Egypt's oldest Christian sanctuaries. Step inside to witness breathtaking Coptic architecture - ancient icons, ornate altars, and sacred iconostasis that have weathered centuries of faith.

Snowdrops at West Ogwell Church, near Newton Abbot.

This is a favourite place of mine, an easy walk from home, through woods & along field paths. The medieval church is now redundant & cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. I love to perch on a fallen tree in the churchyard & listen to the birds. So happy to hear chaffinches today, my favourite sound of spring.
