One cannot come across lamp posts and not be reminded of Walt. These
examples were discovered at the Toy Train Depot in Alamogordo, NM on
a recent road trip, and were apparently overlooked by the Lamp Master,
Walt, himself.

Double dipping, I finally moved the Church Yard to this part of "Bamburgh."
Church yards can be restful, contemplative places. I will add a couple of
Weeping Willows to the mis-en-scene. Viking ship excavation under construction
in former corner of church yard.

Thanks Mustang, I'll post it "On The Workbench." Only glued my
fingers together once, today. Thatch cottage will be getting some
touch up. On the Work Bench is under thread header of
Customizing and Kitbashing.

I notice two things about the church. First, it looks like 12th century architecture. Second, there are only a couple dozen graves in the church yard. People in Bamburgh apparently live to a ripe old age. Must be the healthful effect of all those trains zooming by.
Carpe Manana!

 It is also noted that the mortality rate of people over
100 is rather low. I believe the church is modeled after this
one from the Isle of Wight which lies off the West coast of
Scotland. It is said the the McNeal clan emigrated from there
in or about the 1830's into Pennsylvania, most particularly
the Altoona region, to find new hope.
Not having looked for this church before, I see now that I need to
relocate the denizens once more to the front of the church. One is
impelled to walk through the church yard to contemplate the
hereafter.
