Drawing of St Peters Church, Great Totham

Drawing of St Peters Great Totham
St Peters Church in Great Totham, Essex is tucked away down a country lane on a S-bend so it's quite the pleasant surprise when you stumble upon it. Nestled between Maldon and Tiptree this church dates back to Norman times. The church is rich with character and is just as beautiful and historical inside.
The Church has special significance as we chose this Church for our wedding in May 2010 and have special memories of that special day. I drew a pencil sketch of it to grace our wedding invitations and order of service, so this is the second illustration of St Peters Church I have penned.
Hope you like my drawing this quintessentially English Church. It's worth a visit at anytime and if you are a local, well worth supporting. I have used pencil and ink and finished with pen and sharpie marker for my drawing.

My Drawing of Maldon and its waterfront
New year's day 2013 was a bright, clear, slightly chilly morning in Essex.My wife and I decided to take a stroll from Heybridge into Maldon and along the promenade. Beauty was everywhere. Morris dancers dance and struck sticks outside the Queen's, the smell of chimneys laced the air and seabirds were flying in tighly packed groups like starlings are famed for, each sharp turn flashing white as the sun caught their wing surfaces. Hundreds of people were walking their dogs and strolling with their families to grab some post-Christmas fresh air and enjoy the free scenery. Beautiful.
I caught this view (how could one miss it?) looking back at the Hythe over the lazy curve of the Blackwater estuary. The drawing can be seen during its creation in time lapse here.
You must visit Maldon and enjoy for yourselves!
