St Alkelda’s in Giggleswick

The poor box in St Alkeldas

St Alkelda’s in Giggleswick is open to the public most days and provides an active centre to the village: while I was taking these photographs, two chaps were running through songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess one singing the barritone parts and the other on the electric piano.

This is an active Church
