For centuries weathervanes have kept people in touch with the elements, signalling those shifts in the wind, which bring changes in the weather. This simple device has grown into a charming English tradition which can say something about their owners, adding interest to the landscape.

Wildhern Methodist church, Wildhern, Hants
The sign outside calls it 'church' as distinct from 'chapel'. The stone plaque over the door bears the words 'Primitive Methodist Chapel AD 1880'.
