I've driven past Bodmin Church hundreds of times before but never noticed a ruined chapel within the grounds.

A couple of weeks ago I had a brief explore and found these images of the Chapel of Saint Thomas Becket within Bodmin Churchyard.

Taken from Wikipedia:

The churchyard is extensive and on a slope: the Chapel of St Thomas Becket is a ruin of a 14th century building in the south-east of the churchyard. St Guron's Well is a small building of granite at the western entrance to the churchyard.

View from the east, the tower is from the present church:

Beautiful pictures. They remind me of those old-fashioned touched-up postcards. They are in spectacular definition.
 
seems very well cared for. I wish more people in the States could see the value in preserving ruins, just for the atmosphere and the history.
 
Very Nice images, Thanks for sharing
