The A414 at Stanstead Bury The A414 is a link road between the A10 and M11. At peak times it would be very busy but was quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Looking north-east.

St. James's Church - Stanstead Abbotts, Herts. Sited a mile away from its village, St James’ was the parish church for at least 700 years until St Andrew’s, nearer the centre, replaced it in 1882. Picturesque on its hilltop and largely ignored by the Victorians, it is a marvellously atmospheric church. The building dates from the 12th to the 16th centuries and the 15th century timbered porch is notable. Inside are unusually high Georgian box pews, a three-decker pulpit, texts, hatchments, old glass and monuments of many periods.

View from Draper Hide. I used a long exposure to smooth out the water and a polariser to bring out the clouds and take glare off the water.
