Last time I was back in Edinburgh I didn't hire a car because I wanted to walk the city. I'd never noticed before how many churches were in the city of all denominations and many literally next door to each other. It must have been a sight back in the day with them all competing against each other for custom.


Across the centre of the city there's a real spread in particular, with maybe the two St Mary's as bookmarks

And then you get somewhere like Holy Corner, though I think at least one of the four churches isn't a church as such, anymore.

One of the things that also struck me was I remember watching a programme about Worcester Cathedral, a particularly pretty cathedral that overlooks the Worcestershire County Cricket Club pitch.

The stonework is grey and battered by centuries of the weather, like many churches, but when it was originally built it was seemingly painted in a myriad of colours. This wasn't uncommon and must have made for some sight.
