This gorgeous ⛪️ is dedicated to St Mary and St Blaise. Nothing remains of the earlier AS church, the present building dates from the early C12th & clues to its modification can still be read in its walls! N of the church lie the ruins of the Priory guesthouse #boxgrovepriory #stonemasonarymonday

So happy to squeeze in a visit to the @nationaltrust.org.uk Castlefield Viaduct garden and delighted to hear extra funding secured to expand the length of it. One of the hottest days so sadly the beautiful seating too hot to sit on and didn’t spot any high altitude voles!! #Manchester #Manchattan
