About this postcard

Black-and-white view of the Fantoft Stave Church, a multi-tiered wooden stave church with dragon-head roof finials and a tall central spire, standing on a stone-walled terrace with a balustrade and a small lychgate. Bare trees and wooded hills rise behind it, with a stone cross on the knoll at left.
