More about this scene

This magnificent church, now mainly Perpendicular, dates back to Norman times – the evidence for this can be seen in wall friezes and arcading in the chancel. The tower was originally in the centre, but it was moved to the west end in 1845 by T H Wyatt. Pevsner describes the bell tower as having 'a very pretty composition of the bell-openings'.

Sparked a Memory for you?

I am trying to find some photographs and/or information re the dairy manager's house in Shurnhold, I believe it was a Co-Op dairy and that the house was not only the manager's accommodation but also partly a shop. Above the main entrance (front door) is the date 1886, although I believe that the original part of the building is older. Any information or photos at all would be gratefully received, thanks in advance.
