Bridleway near Sapperton Judging by the height and thickness of the grass, this does not seem to be well used. Perhaps not surprising, as it doesn't lead easily to anywhere in particular.  It is on the Bathurst Estate.

Chancel at St Mary, Edgeworth The Victorian east window sits above a tiny Norman slit window with 1957 stained glass by the local artist Edward Payne.  All the chancel windows have rere-arches, as do the sedilia, piscina on the right.  A formidable Victorian performance, but what a pity that it extended to scraping the walls.
