We brought the Views from Church Towers project to a close last night (2nd May 2012) with a presentation of the panoramas by Chairman of the Managing a Masterpiece Partnership Board, James Halsall.
The event was attended by representatives from nearly all the churches where panoramas where taken, all eager to collect a framed copy of their tower view. Our thanks goes out to everyone who helped organise the event, St Gregory's for the use of the church and to all those who attended.
The doesn't mean the project is entirely over however, the pod with the electronic tour is still making its rounds of the valley and the online version is still available on our website. The pod is currently at St Gregory's in Sudbury and will be at Foxearth Church in a few weeks.
Constable's Lighter.
The aim of this project is to restore a Stour Lighter and use it as a fare-paying vessel for interpretative trips along the River Stour. Lighters have been immortallised in paintings such as Constable's ‘Boat building near Flatford Mill' (1815).

Managing a Masterpiece has commissioned a 360º study of the landscape surrounding 36 church towers nestled in the historic landscape, leading to interactive tours of the area. Read More.
The online tour of the churches in the project area is now available. Take the Tour.
‘Take the landscape round here at Wormingford…..some would find it pretty tame. There are no hills worth speaking of, yet there is a subtlety about this landscape which I feel and see, but which remains very difficult to define. I never look for more than reality the farming the trees and the river.’ - John Nash.
