Land Of The Chapel

Land Of The Chapel

   With the summer sun filling the skies here in the flat lands my cycle rides are fast becoming a real pleasure, exploring some of the villages and hamlets that surround us here in the fens really does help take away the hard work and effort of exercising and to be very honest I feel I'm becoming addicted, looking to go that bit further every week, tho it's fast becoming about what I find rather than the distance I can achieve.
 

 

   One of my rides yesterday took me through the tiny village of Three Holes before heading off to Tipps End, both what most would call hamlets rather than villages but both I'm sure having a strong history of close community and of course Three Holes having a great association with the rivers.

   

 

   I have noticed the amazing amount of chapel's and small churches that are found here in the fens, you can be miles from anywhere and in front of you will appear the most wonderful brick built chapel, most I'm guessing are from the Victorian period with the addition of some very ornate stonework, a sign of how important religion was to many fen folk.
