The church of St Arild at Oldbury-on-the-Hill, dating back to the 13th century at least. Out in the wild, wintery fields, now cared for by the Historic Churches Trust, even inside it is damp and mossy, with old Georgian box pews and... no less than five layers of wall paintings on parts of the south wall.

St Arild was a local Saxon era saint - poor Arild was apparently beheaded by the tyrant Muncius for refusing to 'lye withe hym' and her relics were reputed to have miraculous powers.

An extra-ordinarily atmospheric place.

The ruins of St.Illya's Church

The ruins of St. Illya's Church, a partially submerged and partially ruined sanctuary of the old village of Tsybli, were built in the early 20th century. In the 1930s, brigades fighting against religion attacked and vandalized the church, later converting it into a grain storage facility. In 1960, due to the construction of the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant, some villages located on the banks of the Dnieper River, including Tsybli, were flooded

Now the church is located on a tiny island.

This little 1852 church in Cobleskill, New York is waiting to be converted to a home, and is only $85,000. The interior is currently a glove museum and it’s gorgeous- so much potential.

The entrance hall is beautiful, isn’t it?

Actually, the museum setup is lovely. You can see how beautiful the ceiling is, and the lovely stained glass windows.

So much potential- the chancel would make a great kitchen.

The area in the chancel is certainly large enough for a nice kitchen.

This would be the view from the “kitchen.”

Look at the 3 arches in the back.

The pews are still here and used for display purposes. The doors on the left open to another room.

You can see that the doors open to this room, behind the display cases and ladder. I would imagine that all the display pieces belong to the museum.

If this church looks so beautiful as a glove museum, think of how great it would look as a home, as long as they don’t modernize it into a soulless gray space.

This smaller workroom would make a good bathroom.

There’s an overgrown barn on the property, too.

What a lovely area.

As you drive in to the Surprise Valley community of Eagleville California from the south one of the first things you see is the Eagleville Community Church. The beautiful old structure was built in 1887 and has obviously been lovingly cared for. I thought it looked wonderful in mid-morning light as I rolled into this quiet little community on a June morning.

Surprise Valley is about as remote as one can get in the state of California, save maybe the depths of the Mohave Desert or Death Valley. I must admit being somewhat remiss in living only a couple hours from the area and not spending nearly enough time there. This is something I hope to fix before too long.

The Arrest of Saint Crepin and Saint Crepinian - This polychrome group dates from the middle of the sixteenth century and is considered a masterpiece of Trojan sculpture. Crépin, standing, cuts the leather while Crepinian, sitting, sews the sole of a shoe. The soldiers who come to seize them wear fashionable sixteenth century clothing in very bright colors.

According to an unreliable legend, two 3rd century noble Roman brothers, known as Crispin and Crispinian in English, went to Gaul to preach the gospel and settled at Soissons. They evangelized and converted people during the day and worked as shoemakers at night. Emperor Maximian, hater of Christians, who was visiting Gaul, subjected them to torture had the two brothers beheaded. They are the patron saints of shoemakers, cobblers, and leatherworkers.

Have you noticed that church conversions have been dropping like crazy? This one’s a 1900 build in Chilton, Wisconsin, and it’s a lot of house for $400K, but as big as it is, it’s only got 2 bdrms.

It’s probably staged, but it looks too perfect and stiff.

They divided the main section of the church into individual rooms, but left what looks like it may have been the choir loft. I’m guessing that all wood was matched to original wood color.
