More about this scene

Here we see another church in an attractive location near the small village of Bekesbourne, which contains 18th-century cottages and some modern housing. The church has been much renovated over the centuries, and shows little early work. Remains of a Tudor palace razed in the Civil War have been found nearby. Bekesbourne is one of the three 'bournes'; the others are Bishopsbourne and Littlebourne.

We, as little children, would sit on the floor listening to her relating the story of Jesus. I remember her choosing my name and telling the story of St Cecilia, patron saint of church music. ...see more

Seeking Information
I remember visiting my Great Aunty Kit who lived in the old school house, I think it was Bekesbourne, but it could have been Littlebourne (her husband had fallen on train tracks during the war and died). The school room was off-limits, but she showed my sister and I once and we were spooked by the old fashioned desks in rows, and the darkness of the room. While the adults were talking we would be allowed ...see more

Bekesbourne St Peters Primary School 1950 1955
Does anyone have any old photos of Bekesbourne Primary School, especially between 1950 and 1955? I attended this lovely little Church of England school and would love to learn a bit more re its earlier years and see any photos as mentioned earlier 1950 - 1955. If anyone can let me know how I can find some details I would be most grateful. 01227 769708 pamgraves2010@hotmail.com

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
