St Winnow

Richard Veal

St Winnow

This is the church of St Winnow, which lies on the banks of the River Fowey, just below Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England.

The church was featured in the 1977 BBC series of Poldark, which starred Anghard Rees and Robin Ellis, as Ross Poldark.

This capture was shot in colour, but converted to B+W with an IR filter in CS3.

I quite like the effect, and I hope you do too.
Thank you for looking.
