Exterior photo 6 · Great Warley

St Mary the Less, Great Warley Church – It was directly after taking this shot that I decided to sit down, and consult the oracles ... aka Pevsner and Fitch. Apparently, I was about to enter "an orgy of the English Arts-and-Crafts variety of the international Art Nouveau." * "probably the best Art Nouveau church in England" ** So ... what did that mean to me? Er ... not a lot ... just that I was about to see the best example of something in the country. But I couldn't help but think arty-farty. * Nikolaus Pevsner - The Buildings of England: Essex ** Canon John Fitch - Essex Churches and Chapels

It was directly after taking this shot that I decided to sit down, and consult the oracles ... aka Pevsner and Fitch.

Apparently, I was about to enter

"an orgy of the English Arts-and-Crafts variety of the international Art Nouveau." *

"probably the best Art Nouveau church in England" **

So ... what did that mean to me? Er ... not a lot ... just that I was about to see the best example of something in the country. But I couldn't help but think arty-farty.
