Oldbury on Severn
St Arilda's Church in Olbury on SevernThis church, on a little hill overlooking the Severn valley, is in a village to the north of Bristol that has been occupied since pre-Roman times.
Another cartoon. The church of Saint Arilda. Arilda lived in the 5th or 6th century and other than dying while defending her chastity in Oldbury on Severn, not a great deal is known about her. Oldbury on Severn is a tiny village to the north of Bristol that has been occupied more or less continuously from pre-Roman times. Her church is on a little rise that gives it a commanding view of the Severn valley. I suspect the rise was first used as a fortification and later as a church.
The original image, taken on a hot, dry, and extremely bright summer day is somewhat bland - to say the least. Cartooning it brings out the drama and my original vision.
Several of these cartoons would make excellent greeting cards, and to blow my own horn, as it were, can be ordered from mpix labs on my site.
