More about this scene

The church was almost entirely rebuilt between the 1460s and 1490s. The exterior has lengthy inscriptions and dates recording those who gave money to the various parts of the building. An almost unique feature is the Lady Chapel, positioned east of the chancel and built by John Clopton in 1496. Inside it is a church in miniature, with aisles on all four sides for processions around the shrine of Our Lady of Melford, which was removed in 1547.

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
