Leamington Spa Town and City Memories

Mrs Hitchman, widow of Dr Hitchman, donated the site for this church together with a large sum of money. St Mary's was built between 1877 and 1878 by John Cundall in brick with a prominent steeple. The interior is brick-lined. The tower was a mere 75 feet high and has been cemented over. In 1875 the old three-decker pulpit was removed and the font re-located. The horse and carriage gives a tranquil... [more]

Rugby Town and City Memories

To the west of Old Quad (above, 72159) lies Old Big School, surmounted by School House dormitories.
