191. Chapel Vel Satis
I found this one 100% by accident. Whilst looking at a site 50m away I dropped the orange Google peg man onto the road and he landed outside here. Sod the original site, this one looks way better!
We arrived, it was derelict, it was open. Win!

Thanks for looking.
Oh, before I go there was one last thing I had to try...I could see a rope heading off into the bell tower, so I gave it a little tug. The whole town was treated to the spectacle of the bells, which have fallen silent for decades, ringing out over the town once more. In my mind there was a nun outside, gently weeping and uttering that it was a miracle. But there wasn't, so it's probably best I leave.
Bit of video of it here from about 2:20 onwards (including ringing the bell at the end!)
