🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⛪ An abandoned church, somewhere in the north of England

Built in the 19th century in Gothic Revival style, it features lancet windows and carved stone arches.

Declining attendance and upkeep costs led to its closure. The building now sits #derelict, its pews coated in dust.

This lost place was one of seven selected from my #portfolio for National Geographic's recent feature on abandoned places across England.

They called it the old country. Not some distant ancestral land in Africa ipassed down in myth or memory—but Mississippi. Georgia. Alabama. The South. Before the first Great Migration, Black families who left that soil for the North spoke of it the way European immigrants spoke of Ireland or Poland: a place left behind, a place remembered, a place escaped.
