And here we are inside St John the Baptist Church in Collingham. What did the festival look like? Click photos below to enlarge, then . . . Click <-- back button (top left) to return to this page Photographs © kindly supplied by Mrs Mary Dodds and the Editorial Team
Wow! Isn't that a wonderful sight? What a super view of the nave of St Johns' Church. The Norman (left) and the Gothic (right) arches, and of course the magnificent floral displays, are all highly photogenic. And who climbed that rood-screen to place those displays?
And a quick peek behind us, into the bell tower with its West window
Mrs Mary Dodds is persuaded to stand by one of the exhibits. Is that a fox watching the photographer?
Let's have a closer look at this one. It looks very interesting. What a beautiful layout of plants. And what else is there?
This demands another closer look. Pan in a little bit Mr Cameraman! Now, how many animals can we see here?
Again zooming right in shows the amazing detail in the arrangement. Is that a nut the squirrel is carrying? What sort of nut? Double click for answer ==> AHorseChestnut.
The altar frontal makes a good base for another splendid display.
Now the sill of one of the stained glass windows offers a further opportunity.
It must take a great deal of patience, as well as expertise, to make an arrangement look so good when precariously balanced on a window ledge.
The memorial tablet with the names of all those brave soldiers forms the backdrop to a very elegant arrangement.
And seen from a little to the right . . .
The water display looks very handsome in this warm looking environment. And look at those gorgeous wooden benches.
Yes! It also looks super from here. That water looks good enough to swim in. And the wooden frame is a work of art.
The font and its adjacent pillar provides an excellent support and backdrop for this arrangement.
Again a closer look reveals the detail in the floral design.
And seen in a different light, with some of the many visitors in the background.
A lovely sunny corner. What do those notices above the display tell us?
What about a different angle on this? Some parts look good enough to eat!
Who's this? A snowman in a flower festival, and smoking a pipe? Is that allowed in church? All will be revealed . . .
What an interesting Winter Scene. We'd all like a sledge like that. Is he clearing the snow ready for a ride down Scarle Hill!
Those flowers and the old gnarled branch fit in perfectly. The whole thing has a distinctly Winter feel about it.
And taking a closer peek! What are those articles on the back shelf? Leaves? Ice Skates? Snow shoes? OR some more gnarled branches? And who had all the fun building the snowman?!
What a colourful scene. The imagination runs riot! Isn't that the magic door we came through to see the photos?
Now from a slightly different angle. It looks magnificent doesn't it? And whose bonnet is that? It intrigued lots of visitors.
And from higher up! It still looks great!
More visitors near the high altar. And they're arriving all the time. There must be something of special interest up there. Let's put some more soothing music on to serve as a background. Nothing too loud though!
