I agree with Jon's reaction to the fence. If you crop the nearest fence post you see how the attention is drawn to the church, as opposed to the fence ... this would also require the removal of some of the sky, which would loose some of those nice clouds. It might be worth a return to the site, if that's possible!
Stephen, I like Old church shots, but I think you were trying to use the fence as a leading line to the church. I find it distracting because it's too strong. I'm not sure if the subject is the fence, or the church. I would have shot this as too pictures, the fence and the church. Both would make interesting compositions.
