WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA, AND BRILLIANTLY DONE — however, the one curch for which I really want images of internal plaques, memorial stones, effigies etc is St Nicholas, Stanford-on-avon — sadly, I cannot receive anything on this particular church — only thing available is via “something-lite slides”, and NOTHING AT ALL COME THROUGH — I would really like to see images within the St Nicholas — what chance please??
John Hill — THANKS

Unfortunately the church at Stanford-on-Avon is kept locked so I only have exterior photographs. I do intend revisiting in the near future if I can locate a key holder first. If there is anything specific that you'd like to see then you can contact me and I'll see what I can do.
