With a dark and ominous looking sky at 6.30 pm, some intrepid club members set off on the journey to Cricklade for our second photoshoot of the summer. By the time the short journey had been completed the sky had cleared and we were bathed in evening sunshine. After photographing the Jubilee Clock outside the Vale Hotel, we made our way to St Sampson’s parish church. Unfortunately we were not able to access the interior of the building but instead focused on its imposing structure and the various crosses in the churchyard.

From there we walked the High Street, passing St Mary’s church and some fine Georgian town houses before reaching the Town bridge and the curiously named “The Stank”. A group of boy scouts and guides were building a wooden bridge to cross the River Thames which provided some interesting observations. The Cornishman in our group spotted the fact that the Red Lion offered St Austell Brewery beers so we finished the evening with a well deserved pint.
