St James, Poolstock
Photo: Jeff Haydock (Nikon D40)
A nice well constructed church.
Really nice photo, walk past this church many times when visiting family in Marus Bridge. I often walk to Wigan and back.
Foundation stone was laid on 1st September 1863 and took 3 years to build. Cost estimate was over £15,000 (£1.02 million as of 2012).

The answer to your first question is that women are flighty !!
