#SteepleSaturday St Mary, Titchmarsh, Northants. The magnificent 15th century tower seems to be more suited to the West Country, rather than the Nene valley of Northamptonshire. Seen in August 1987.

#SteepleSaturday Cambridge, 1984 : The cement rendered tower of St Edward's church stands out, as does the white painted Victorian building just behind. That building housed the offices of the Arts Theatre and the two windows at top right lit my office there from 1973 to 1988.
