St Martins le Grand, York.


Named after St Martin of Tours (France), the present church is a restoration of the one bombed in a 1942 air raid. For a detailed history, read this. St Martins is on Coney Street, a busy shopping thoroughfare; the sextant wielding "Little Admiral" on the double-sided clock is facing roughly east towards Spurriergate. 

Another not quite in the rules statue from the Rodin Museum, Paris, below.  Same photographic joke as last Saturday.

  2. May 1 is Theme Day. Even though you didn't link to CDP specifically for the theme, you actually participated. The theme is "statues," which both your photos have! Really love the clock.
