More about this scene

The Church and War Memorial c1955 Dedicated to St Peter & St Paul, the church here is first mentioned in 1310, though there was almost certainly a place of worship on the site in late Saxon times. The north aisle was added in 1746, the south aisle in 1764, and the main body of the building was restored in 1878. Further restoration works were carried out in 1907 (the chancel) and on the bells and tower in 1914.

Born & Bred
THE FAMILY HOME. I was born in the front room of the last bay windowed house on Station Road in 1964, number 87. I have fond memories of growing up & playing on the street, thankfully the house is still in the family. Although the village has changed over the years Station Road hasn’t!

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.
