Newburn Church

A Memory of Newburn.

There used to be a friend of the famly called Susie Handcock, she worked as the cleaner at the church, as she was cleaning inside near the altar a piece of plaster fell and underneath was a lovely painting of Saint Michael and All Angels. I was at a wedding there last year, and I saw it must have been covered up, if so that's a shame, unless it was destroyed in the fire. At one time Susie was supposed to have found a tunnel running from the church to the Boathouse pub, but I can't say if this was true or not as the story was passed down to me.
