Appearances to the Contrary

Parish Church of St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford Oxford, England ~ February 18, 2010

If you click the link, you will see that the church is a warm and thriving institution in the middle of Oxford. The photo (taken in the rain) makes it look old and neglected. I just loved finding this place amidst the more stately downtown buildings.

Nice photo!
I enlarged it and was blown away by how ancient it all is. Do you know any dates on the tombstones?

Looks like a place to avoid on Halloween

I enlarged it... but it still looks pretty old and run down to me... in an antiquey kinda way. I'd certainly go take a closer look.

Funny! I like the contrast.

Thanks for posting! I failed to get the name of this churchyard when I was there last month, and through a Google images search, I found your blog.
