That& #39;s all the churches up! Vote! Fight! Argue! Lobby for your favourites! And I& #39;ll see you in 24 hours with the results, and Round Two.
(I am aware some of the photos are... bad. People don& #39;t tend to photograph these churches as much as the old ones. If you have nice pics of any of these churches that you& #39;d be happy for me to use, DM me them. I& #39;d hate for a good church to drop out just because of bad photos.)
Awkward reminder: a lot of time and work goes into these wild and chaotic competitions, so if you& #39;re enjoying this, or if you enjoyed the previous Battles, then you can chuck me a small tip at https://ko-fi.com/jayhulme ">https://ko-fi.com/jayhulme&... - if you want to - and only if you can afford to.
