Not the Church I cannot believe that in March 07 I found a square with no geograph in it that also had a church. So... not falling for the trap I photographed something else.

The train has just left Bristol Parkway 4 km to the east and is heading towards London. The bridge may not be as big as the viaduct just down the line <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/ST6579">ST6579</a> but is interesting none the less.

I leave the church for someone else.
