We are looking over fields near Rostherne towards Bowdon with its distinctive hilltop parish church. Nestling in the trees are nearby houses in this Victorian residential district, built around the ancient village of Bowdon ('boga-dun' or bow-shaped hill), Cheshire.

Bowdon is the most south-westerly built up area in the Greater Manchester conurbation. The church is a prominent feature on the way into Manchester via the A556 . Returning by car or bus after journeys down south or abroad, I know I'm nearly home whenever I catch sight of Bowdon Church.
