Up The Tower, St. Peter's Church, Sandwich


This is the last blog in the series about the beautiful town of Sandwich, Kent. The tower of St. Peter's Church was opened to the public earlier this year. I have been trying to get up there for years, so I was really pleased when a beautiful staircase was built to let everyone see the views from up there :) My daughter and I picked a lovely day to climb the tower, the views from up there are just breath taking :D


On the way up the tower.....


.....past the clock workings....


....and the bells....


....nearly there, looking right up into the very top of the cupola :D


What a view :) Looking over the Guildhall and beyond.


Looking down on Market Street, the Library where I work is the flat roofed building in the centre of the photo. I had never seen the library from this view before :)


Looking towards Thanet.


Thanet direction again.


The White Mill on the Ash Road.


King Street, looking roughly in the direction of Deal.


St. Mary's Church.


St. Clement's Church in the background of this photo.


And a zoomed in view of St. Clement's Church.


Looking at the Bell Hotel, which is next to the Quay.

It has been great fun doing this series, I hope you have enjoyed seeing some views of this gorgeous little town :) I still have hundreds more photos of the town, but I hope that my selection has made some of you want to visit 'The Most Complete Medieval Town in England' :D
