We’ve put together this gallery of readers’ pictures sent to us over the week for you to enjoy. These super shots were all taken for our photo challenge theme - ‘Churches’ and were submitted to us via our image-sharing website - iwitness24.

See all of the photos shared with the Mercury this week.

If you would like to get involved and start seeing your own photos appearing in the Mercury (in print/online) then why not join our community of local photographers at iwitness24.co.uk.
