Bradwell

Bradwell in Essex. One of (if not the oldest) churches in England. It was worth it. What a peaceful place.
It was so windy but inside completely calm. High windows. The tide was out and the salt marsh mud flats stretched for miles.  It reminded me (a bit) of Escomb church in County Durham.
