Strangest bridge in Britain?

Sunday saw us at Leek Wootton Church. It looks quite old, but inside there are signs that it is keeping up with the times. Much work has been done to improve the interior for the millennium. There is a platform in front of the rood screen. This is quite common in churches of a certain age (old!), I do wonder though whether it puts a further symbolic barrier between people (including the clergy) and God. It was a traditional (Common Worship) Holy Communion. The sermon was on the good Samaritan, and the OT reading showed us where the Samaritans came from.

Lunch was a barbecue at Ashow, in the village club. Croquette was available on the lawn, and the food was excellent. We had to leave before the raffle was drawn, so don't know if we won.

The church still has its box pews and an uneven floor.
It is one of only 4(?) Anglican churches dedicated to the Assumption of our Lady (Virgin Mary). The village is at the end of a no through road, on the banks of the river Avon. The church is reached by a footpath, and following on from the footpath there is a bridge across the river.

When the footpath meets the river there is the most odd bridge.
It is not an optical illusion, the sides really do curve outwards. It acts like an optical illusion. As I walked across the bridge I was instantly convinced that I would fall over the side, first one side then then other, and extremely weird feeling.

We left about 2:30pm to travel back to Lincoln and then home, arriving about 8:30pm, after catching the traffic from the Duxford Airshow.

An excellent few days.
