More about this scene

The magnificence of the church was rather spoilt by the 18th-century red brick tower with classical blank arches and windows (see photograph 35493), built after much of the medieval tower fell in 1700. This was replaced to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. The architect was George Bodley; he designed a Gothic tower so much in sympathy with the building that many visitors are unaware that it was only completed in 1903.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I vaguely remember visiting the corner shop seventy years ago. Not sure if the owners were relatives or just friends of my grandparents. If anyone knows who lived there and operated the shop in the 1940s the information would be appreciated. David, in Napa, California
