More about this scene
The parish church of St Helen stands on a slight rise above the centre of the former coal mining town of Hemsworth, near Wakefield. The church was extensively remodelled in 1867, but parts of the imposing building date from the 13th century, when Hemsworth was a prosperous market town.

The Parish Church at Hemsworth is where my parents were married and where me and my twin sisters were christened. In 1959 I was a bridesmaid for my aunt when she got married. The last time I was in the church was for my cousin's funeral a few years ago. I have a copy of this photograph on my lounge wall in my Wakefield home. Jean Johnson (nee Aston)
