Dorset with CCC Day 6 - 16th June - A Day out with Phil

So our day started in Bridport. A nice Dorset Village. We had a wander round and investigated the town. We decided move on to West Bay before lunch. The afternoon was spent looking around this seaside town.

During the day e visited two churches with approx 700 Years Difference. This story and the diptych was my daily journal photo that you may have seen before.

The story that accompanied the two church's is repeated here along with the diptych.

Phil and I did not go with the other members of the Cambridge Camera Club today to the Swanage area, instead we traveled to Bridport and the West Bay area (allegedly in search of cake :)

During our travels we visited two churches. St Mary's in Bridport. Built early 13th Century (ie after 1201) on the site of a previous Saxon church. I spoke with two very nice ladies in the church and they explained a lot about the church and its community.

Phil and I then traveled to West Bay. Famous of recent years as the location for the filming of the crime drama Brordchurch.

After a walk around West Bay and an Ice Cream, Note a Herring Gull pinched Phil’s ice cream :( but they did not get mine :), We visited St Johns Church. This was built in the 1930's and dedicated in 1939 as a 'chapel of ease'. This is a church building other than a Parish Church so people who cannot get to the Parish Church can attend.

Note - we are being fed so well at the accommodation we are staying at neither of us had cake.

The last two pictures were taken back at the place we were staying. The second from last is Ann who organised the trip with her husband my friend Phil.

The last photo taken a few minutes later and signifies the end of our trip with friends from the Cambridge Camera Club. Sue and left the rest a day early to visit our granddaughter Eloise in Swindon for her birthday - and yes there was cake
