St.Michael's. Willington, Derbyshire.

St.Michael's Parish Church, Willington, Derbyshire, dates back to Norman times ( 1066 and all that).. and there are records of marriages on the site dating back to 1698..I've decided to capture a fairly conventional view here which will have masses of foreground detail. I've only been working on the drawing this evening...we're still decorating and i've spent all day glossing woodwork...THE FUMES!!!...aarrggghhhh!!!
