Another splendid morning that begged us to enjoy a bit of exploration as we ran our usual errands. Holy Trinity Church stands at the top of the High Street in Rayleigh, watching over the town as it has for centuries. There has been a church on this site since Saxon times, and the tower you see here dates to the 15th century. My imagination goes into overdrive at the thought of the people who have come to this holy ground through the ages, celebrating births and marriages, mourning deaths, and marking the progress of the liturgical year, year after year. I stand in the shadows and wonder about their stories…
I, too, have seen this church accompany us through the seasons. Remember this post from last winter?
