Last weekend, Motor Man and I traveled to the Cambridge, Maryland area. While Motor Man was at a boat race Sunday afternoon, I went antiquing and exploring the countryside.
Today, I’m sharing a few of the fences I found.
These are the ruins of the Old White Marsh Episcopal Church near Trappe, Maryland. According to the historic marker, the church was built before 1690, burned in 1892 and was partially restored in 1977.
Could the sky have been more beautiful?
I wish I’d looked for details on this gravestone with the image of an angel. At the time, I was concentrating on the fence post with the dilapidated bluebird house.
A driveway surrounds the cemetery, and this was the fence at the back of the church ruins. I thought it was interesting that the posts are made of stone, or cement. perhaps.
Next Friday, I’ll share more fence finds from Maryland.
Linking up to Friday’s Fences.
these days of mine 
What a great chance to see someplace different! Love that view of the ruins beyond the fence…we saw some cement fence posts when we were in Missouri – guess they will last a lot longer!
Nice fences and while I’ve seen a few “cement” posts, they are kind of unusual. Linda’s right though – I guess they were made to last!

Lovely images you’ve got here. There is just something about white fluffy clouds in a beautiful blue sky isn’t there? 🙂
I’ve kind of got behind in visiting blogs over the last couple of days too – it’s awful hard to try and catch up isn’t it. Have a great weekend. :))
Guess those stone/cement posts won’t rot in the ground. Great shots with the ruins and the grave stone in the backgrounds.
The old cemetery is well cared for. I remember visiting an old cemetery with my MIL; the earth was all churned up and she and I had to stand some markers back up.
Love the photo of the cemetery – I’d to explore there!
now that is a good idea to use cement posts~much easier to just replace the rails. I loved the bluebird house attached to the fence. what a great dual purpose 🙂
so interesting!
I wanted to tell you that I just finished a book set in VA and it’s called “The Kitchen House,” by Katherine Grissom. She’s a Saskatchewan born writer and the story takes place/and is based on the Prestwould Plantation.
I found the book so interesting that I googled for information on the plantation and guess what popped up nearby but a picture of YOUR Bacon’s Castle! The one I would have never known about if it hadn’t been for your posts :).
Serendipity .. no?
PS the book was great!
Cheers ~ MJ
i really enjoy the last shot best. great fence line. (:
It looks very peaceful. The image of the fence post with the gravestone is outstanding. Very nice …
These are wonderful fences. I am also intrigued by the gravestone. It’s really lovely.
Nice that you get to explore while your hubby has his own fun…and I love to look at antiques, too.
Yep your right…that sky draws you in! Nice shots!
the posts really are unique!
Looks like a very interesting place to explore … love the first shot here – There’s just something about an old ruin under a cloudy/blue sky !
What a great opportunity to get out and explore new places! The church was a nice find, and that is an interesting-looking tombstone.
Great set of photos. I wish we lived close enough to go see that area. It looks like a beautiful step back in time. That sky is a peach. 🙂
beautiful scenes
everything seems stopped in beautiful light
These are beautiful, the churchyard is somewhere I would love to explore.
Glad you did not go to the boat races this time, but your time was well
spend. Beautiful!!
