It is weird stuff, you can scratch it with a fingernail but it routinely lasts for hundreds of years. There is a relatively modern conventional brick barn nearby with a date of 1866 built into the brickwork so I guess somewhere between 14th and 18th century for the barn in my shot. I took a couple of shots of the church on the same day from the same viewpoint but with different lenses: Leica M6 : 50mm Noctilux : orange filter : Kodak Professional BW400 http://www.geebeephoto.com/2007/07038.htm Leica M6 : 21mm Elmarit : orange filter : Kodak Professional BW400 http://www.geebeephoto.com/2007/07039.htm Anyone interested in the interior can see it here and in the next six shots: http://www.geebeephoto.com/Northamptonshire_Churches/A-L/pages/Everdon_1.htm Thanks for looking. --Graham
