The 18th century sundial is a fairly recent feature. The church itself ST7074 : St James the Great Church, Abson has its origins in the 12th century.

Barrage balloon mooring site

The semi-circle of more scrubby looking grass is the location of a World War Two barrage balloon mooring site in Pucklechurch. There are various small concrete pads set into this area of ground, some with metal rings attached, and also the outline of a small building. The exposed concrete in the foreground is the most obvious feature that would be evident to a casual observer visiting this site.

Warmley, South Gloucestershire, St Barnabas Parish Church

Built 1849-50, this church is really only photogenic in the winter as the large number of mature trees in the churchyard hide much of it from view when in leaf!

Bridgeyate, South Gloucestershire, Chapel and Pub

Across the common are two odd neighbours. The White Harte pub dates from the early C18, its teetotal neighbour is the Ebenezer Methodist Chapel of 1810

Leaving Pucklechurch, South Gloucestershire

I like the dramatic lighting in this shot. We are looking towards Abson church (far right above the road) and the dramatic row of trees on the hilltop near Lansdown in Bath (far distance)
