Broadeye Windmill in the centre of Stafford. Slowly being restored.
The oldest building in Stafford is St Chad's church dating back to the 12th century. Here the main altar dated 1910, displays panels depicting all the Mercian Saints.
This beautiful ornate wooden tower above the font (1856) is telescopic with a counter balance inside. It was designed and built in 1935.The second trip was just for the usual mundane shopping to replenish the store cupboard before we move on again. In between times I have been busy removing the rubber matting glued to the rear deck which had started to lift and trap water underneath. There was a small amount of rusting but this has all been cleaned up and I have so far managed to apply 2 undercoats and 1 top coat. If the weather warms up a bit later this morning I will put a 2nd coat of top coat on but at the moment the strong Easterly wind is keeping the temperature down even though the sun is shining.
How quaint is this is the heart of Stafford?

Aha! I was correct about the windmill photograph. However, I didn't expect "my" van to be included in the photograph (the Transit minibus in your photograph is the one I sometimes drive.
