Sistine Chapel (no not that one)

Arriving at Titnore Lane the Gorse Fox turned south and headed towards Goring. Taking his life in his hands he crossed back across the A259 and then made his way along to the Church of the English Martyrs.

This is a most unassuming Catholic Church from the outside. Built in the 1980's it has an almost industrial design... low, oblong, and a bit like a small school.

The outside does not, however, prepare you for waht is inside.

A local artist, inspired by visiting the Vatican, has reproduced the Sistine Chapel ceiling - taking him over 5 years to complete - and it is a beauty to behold.

The Gorse Fox bought a photography permit and took many tens of photos, but as the permit stipulates that they are "for personal use" he will respect the implied copyright by not showing any others on the blog.

He does recommend that if you are ever in the area, it is well worth a visit. For more information go to http://www.investmentart.co.uk/
