In April 2008, whilst working in St. Mary’s Church, I asked the church wardens if it would be possible for me to go up the church tower and take some photographs for the "Hearts and Soles" Project. They agreed, and so on April 25th I was taken up the tower by Mr. Alan Marks. There are 66 steps up to the first landing (one for every book in the bible) where the clock mechanism is, and where you can look down on the bells, and then up a ladder to a second landing, before ascending another short ladder and out on to the parapet. I was fortunate with the weather, it wasn’t raining which for 2008 was a miracle, and although it was quite bright it wasn’t sunny so I was able to take photographs all round, giving a view over the whole town. An experience which I very much enjoyed.
