Sandham Memorial Chapel, Chawton, Salisbury, Stonehenge

Day trip Wednesday was today!  It was quite a fun little trip!  We started out going to the Sandham Memorial Chapel.  It's not anything particularly pretty on the outside.  However, it has one of the most famous WWI artworks made inside of it.  

By Stanley Spencer.  The big one with all the crosses is called "Resurrection."  It is showing all the soldiers resurrecting and going toward Christ in the center.

Here's some more pictures we took outside the church...

After Sandham Memorial Chapel, we went to the town of Chawton to see Jane Austen's house.  This is the house she lived in when she wrote most of her greatest novels, and where she eventually died when she was in her 40s.  They had a lot of really cool artifacts from her and her family.

When we left Chawton, we headed over to Salisbury to see the Cathedral there.  It has the tallest spire in England on their Cathedral.  

Lastly, we went to the infamous Stonehenge.  I had been here before a looong time ago when I was about 8 years old.  It was about the same as I remember!  The rocks are still all there!  It is very interesting though, I really enjoyed going there again.  It is something that really makes you think about who has been there and what has happened so long ago.
