St Michaels Church

A Memory of Lower Buckenhill.

My mother and her sisters were married at St Michael's church at Lower Rochford. They lived at Peter's Cottage. Gran and Grandad Kennett used to be the caretakers of the church and are buried in the church yard.  It is the quaintest little church I have ever seen and it is so well looked after by the local people.

We used to go down to Lower Rochford every few weeks when our last remaining auntie was alive but unfortunately we have nothing to go down for now only our memories.

I was rather surprised that there were no photos of Lower Rochford church because it is very old and so pretty.

The Adams family own a lot of the land in the area and I am sure Rosemary could say far more about the area than I can.
