St Peters Church Gates

Hi

hope someone can help, there is great debate going on in dunchurch at the moment. There is no record of when the church gates were put up and we need to find out because English Heritage are trying to stop them from being removed, but the church wants to replace them for security reasons. The oldest member of the congregation (92 years) cant remeber as she was away for most of the war. I have looked at some pictures from the 1950's and they are in place at the time but cant find anything older.
Hope someone can help us resolve this

Thanks

Louise

RE: RE: St Peter's Church Gates

There are some photos of the church on windowsonwarwickshire.org.uk (search for 'Dunchurch').  There are some dated the 1930s.

Hope this helps.

RE: RE: St Peter's Church Gates

I was born in Dunchurch in 1940 and to my knowledge the church gates have always been there, and therefore must have been erected in the 1930s or before.

I have a postcard of 1916 showing the iron gates were in place.
