St Lawrence's, Hungerford, Berkshire

West of London, heading towards Marlborough and other west-country places you'll find Hungerford. You may have heard of Hungerford - it was the scene of a series of random shootings on 19 August 1987, when Michael Robert Ryan, an unemployed antique dealer and handyman, fatally shot 16 people including a police officer, before taking his own life.

I've already covered Hungerford Cemetery here at CallMeAlan. In that album I said as well as a rather lovely church, which seems impossible to visit since there's nowhere to park, Hungerford offers its little cemetery for our pleasure. Well, I was lucky, and got myself parked right outside the church. It is a lovely church, with a lovely graveyard, and it's situated right on the Kennet and Avon Canal, as you will see below in the pics.

Ever get that sinking feeling?
