Here we are leaving the train at Charlton. It’s a pleasant sunny day so far, just right for a ramble. Let’s hope it remains so.

Here we are in Charlton village, heading to our first destination. This is London’s annual Open House weekend when many buildings are thrown open to the public.

On the way we spied this old drinking fountain. Is it Victorian? (Many, if not most antique ones date to that period.) I could not find a plaque or any other dedication so I cannot be sure.

This photo by Tigger shows where we were going, to the 17th-century Church of St Luke with Holy Trinity. (The double name suggests that two churches once combined into one but I didn’t enquire into that.)

On the façade of the church is this colourful sundial. I’m not sure that it is telling the correct time but in this age of watches and mobile phones that hardly matters.

This is a general view of the interior of the church, looking towards the altar.

The church has a number of stained glass windows, so ancient and some more recent.

This is one of the side chapels. If it has a name, I did not see one displayed.

This is a view towards the rear of the church, showing the massive beams in the roof.

On the way out we stopped to view the Millennium Tapestry, completed in 1999. It is in a narrow room so I had to take it by panorama which accounts for the distortion. It i a very complex piece of work and we were told that people who had worked on it were reckoned to be descendants of people who had worked on the Bayeux Tapestry.

In the entrance is this colourful mosaic showing a winged bull with the inscription SANCTUS LUCAS. This mythologicl animal is the symbol of the named saint.

We now caught a bus to our next destination.
