More about this scene

St George's is considered to be one of Sir Gilbert Scott's finest designs, and was built in 1854-58 as a replacement for the original parish church which had been destroyed by fire. There is a local story that as the old church burned the vicar suddenly exclaimed: 'Good gracious, and I have left my false teeth in the vestry!'

I was born in Kirk Sandall, Doncaster, and our family are trying to trace the family tree. My grandmother Mrs F M Britten used to run a grocery shop at 109 Balby Road in the 1930s (I believe it's now a hairdressers) Does anyone remember this, and has any photo's of the shop. My father, Samuel Britten died 5years ago, so I'm trying to find someone who may have any memories of that time, and fill in some history. My name was Anne Britten prior to marriage.
