Taney Church - exploratory sketch

Into the big bad world. Outdoor assignment time!
I dropped over to Taney Church to recce the area, and also to make sure it was ok to sketch there.
I'd only brought my small sketchbook, and no chair to sit on, so I did this one standing up. It's not really a proper continuous line sketch, but it was a good way to look really closely at some of the aspects of the building that I found interesting. And also to realise that any building with a tower would pause serious challenges!
I discovered at a later stage that the edge on the right, with stones going in and out is called a buttress! Well, if I'm going to sketch churches, I'd better be prepared to tackle those!
