Tixall Church web


My photograph doesn’t show it as well as I’d hoped, but the thing you see in it that appears to be a piece of old hanging thin muslin rag, is in fact an enormous old spider’s web. It sways softly high up in the roof of Tixall Church.

It hangs just above the highest window in the west wall of the church. So it’s no surprise that the cleaner can’t get to it…

  1. That's some big web. Let's hope the spider doesn't match it!

  2. I quite like spiders, would rather have a spider than flies.

  3. I like the way you described the spider web. I had to enlarge the photo to get a better look at it. It gives me the shivers! And what is that cluster near the top left corner? It looks like red beads. Oh, I saw more of them at the edges of the stained glass! I've seen ladybugs swarm like that around windows.
