    Christchurch Exmouth.
    I have been meaning t walk up to this church (just round the corner) but never got around to it as I don't go up or down that raod. Yesterday I did and as I thought the Church has a lovely weather vane. One can't see it looking up the road as the church is tucked well back off the road

    Thank you Rolf
    Yes. I was pleased it was a different .
    It' looks like the church was built at a different time the to rest of the houses. it looks a bit odd in with a row of houses and well back off the road mind you they are very old probably listed houses

    I've looked through the pages here and I don't think you have these ones - but I may be wrong!

    The Labrador one is ours - representing my 'best friend' of some years back. The Robin sings from the top of it every morning.

    The posh one is on Christchurch Priory Church tower.

    I went up to the church and was rather cross to find only a cross and no weather vane but then decided to go round the roads that are never walked except by those who live in the and captured these around the outskirts of town.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    I'm totally amazed at how many different weather vanes there actually are

    Here is one I spotted at Port Sunlight on the Wirral last weekend

    This one is above Sammy Miller's Motorcycle Museum near us.

    I took it last week, just before I bumped into a very nice elderly gentleman!

    If you don't recognise him, here are a couple of clues;

    1. His father was a motorcycle TT champion

    2. He was known as 'voice of F1'!

    I was down in Shropshire over Easter and whilst out on the road exploring found this rather nice Welsh Dragon vane is on the cafe/bike hire place alongside the Lake Vyrnwy dam in mid Wales

    Another one from Lake Vyrnwy - this one is on the drawdown / abstraction tower that stands in the lake on the eastern shore - two for the price of one!

    The second pic shows a wider view of the tower. The vanes are just about visible on what looks like a gothic castle!

    This one is on the little church at Pennant Melangell a couple of miles out of Llangynog (near Bala).

    Its a lovely little church with a nice legend attached to it

    Her legend (translated from a 17th Century manuscript by Professor Oliver Davies of Saint David’s College, Lampeter) tells of the illustrious Prince Brychwel Ysgithrog of Pengwern Powys who in AD 604 whilst hunting in a place called Pennant started a hare and with his hounds gave chase. They came to a thicket of brambles and thorns wherein he found a beautiful maiden, given up to divine contemplation, with the hare lying boldly under the hem of her garments.

    Moved by her piety and her serenity the prince endowed Melangell, daughter of King Jowchel of Ireland, with land and built for her a place of sanctuary for the service of God that it may be a ‘perpetual asylum, refuge and defence’, saying unto her: "O most worthy Melangell, I perceive that thou art the handmaiden of the true God. Because it hath pleased Him for thy merits to give protection to this little wild hare from the attack and pursuit of the ravening hounds, I give and present to thee with willing mind these my lands for the service of God, to be a perpetual asylum and refuge. If any men or women flee hither to seek thy protection, provided they do not pollute thy sanctuary, let no prince or chieftain be so rash towards God as to attempt to drag them forth."

    Melangell passed the rest of her days in this lonely place, sleeping on bare rock. Many were the miracles which she wrought for those who sought refuge in her sanctuary with pure hearts.

    To this day, in honour of Saint Melangell, the hares are respected by the local hunters of Cwm Pennant and are never ever shot!

    This is the historic water powered Mortimers Cross flour mill. The vane appears to be a salmon

    During the War of the Roses a big battle was fought at Mortimers Cross!
