Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I got Marred there on 24th March 1965. It was a beautiful hot day for the time of the year, I was born in 1946 in Dudley Drive and went to school at Hatfield. I used to love playing in the woods, climbing trees and paddling in the stream. I remember listening to the band with my mum and dad on a Sunday (we wold take a picnic with us). I have lots of memories. When I got married I moved to Streatham and the the following year to Swindon.
I was married at the beautiful St Lawrence's in 1955. But I don't recognise it from the photo as there was a lovely wicket gate. We had a long hot summer that year and a drought was declared. Guess what! The first rain shower for months occurred just as we came out of church for photos! It made no difference - they were perfect.
St Lawrence Church holds special memories for my wife and I. We were married there in April 1961 and renewed our vows to each other some thirty years later when we were holidaying and reminiscing from Australia. It is a beautiful church, we were made to feel very welcome by the congregation. It is sad to see the surrounds have changed so much though.
Got married here on 25th January 1975, wonderful church and I didn't have far to travel as I lived in Hatfeild Mead, opposite.
