Your unique depiction of British heritage through photo journalism is like nothing I see elsewhere. Off the beaten track is where it truly lies. Well done.

"I subscribe to Andy's newsletter and each week it's a beautiful compilation of his visits to villages and venues that are filled with photographs and thoughts."

"It's a brilliant email. I'm including the latest one in my weekly Five Good Things email if that's okay? I love how you notice the details - we can all learn from that."
Cleanse your timeline: “Between the fungi and the fallen tree, I can’t find where the beginning begins or the end ends. Indeed in this liminal place there is no beginning and there is no end.” @fotofacade lyrical, Garneresque about time and landscape. Read it and be uplifted.

And thank you so much, for the keen lens and thoughtful pen you combine so effectively. As long as we can see, and think, there is hope…

A weekly treat that lifts my spirits way above the depths of the worst on Twitter, is the newsletter from @fotofacade

Inspired by your work, in January I’m starting a photography course to be able to make better use of my iPhone, and bring fresh impetus to my painting, but even more so to my seeing. Thank you!

Have long delighted in [Andy Marshall's] work, his photo stories, in particular, a delicious respite in these uncertain times.

"You talk more often about the relationship between the maker in the past and the viewer of today and how they still have contact over time. Apparently the distance in time or in space doesn't matter that much, if you look the right way."

A wonderful setting for this medieval church dedicated to St Cwyfan. All we could hear this morning was the sound of the sea and birds. Felt very peaceful there. Thank you @fotofacade for telling us about it in your Genius Loci Digest. #stcwyfan #anglesey pic.twitter.com/VvXrtZpEES

We are so thrilled every time Andy travels in his camper-van (Woody) to photograph one of our churches. From limitless starry skies to the tiniest detail of a moth’s wing, he captures the timeless beauty and unique quirks of each place, and his images are magical. 🌟 https://t.co/2anmWRz2lT

One of the best writer/photographers in Britain today. I highly recommend,a worthy successor to 'Under Milk Wood' https://t.co/eolNk6xkjm

Your writing and imagery is a delightful testament for walking slowly and letting your eyes see.

@fotofacade captures the dramatic interior of Hampnett in a way that actually ‘being’ inside the church is difficult to replicate . When you stand quietly in the Nave it is visually overwhelming and difficult to focus . I hate to admit it ,but thank goodness for AM .

I do love the phrase ‘comforted by continuity’

As I get older this becomes increasingly important to me.
Really recommend following Andy capturing architecture & urban design across the UK, reminds me of history trips while studying, guided by the formidable arch historian Prof James Stevens Curl https://t.co/N256WxUUyc
