Yesterday, we headed back to ST Andrews for the farmers
market. We parked in front of a wooden
Anglican church and walked to the market.
Like many of these in the lower 48, there were more craft booths, than
fresh food. But we did find some things we could use, fresh bread and radishes
picked yesterday for lunch.
As we headed back to the motorhome, we stopped to
admire the outside of the church. As we
stood there a man and his dog walked up to us and asked if we would like a tour. It turns out that he is the church
Sextant. He guided us around the church
and provided some of its history, which he quickly pointed out included a visit
from Prince Charles and Lady Di. There
is a placard in the pew they occupied commemorating their visit. The church was constructed by ship builders
and the ceiling over Nave is in the shape of an inverted hull. The church
history is a reflection of the Church Of England policy in the colonies. It is well preserved and worth a visit.

The gardens just look apectacular. What a nice way to spend an afternoon. You took some nice photographs.
I love visiting churches.
The Kingsbrae Gardens looks fantastic. This would differently be on my must-see list.
I love the farmers' markets. The old church is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you.
Lovely garden, it sure looks like it is in Canada though - the background vegetation is northern.
Beautiful pictures!
Beautiful church!!!
Beautiful church, beautiful garden! I love this series of photos, thank you so much for sharing. :)
Those gardens are beautiful. We never got to see them when we stopped by area, it wasn't the right time of year(end of March)so thanks for showing us what we missed.
