Some sunshine today, thank goodness!
Liking this church, a bit different.
Anywhere else outside of Essex that has place names with church in the name?
Hornchurch, Oldchurch (the old hospital in Romford)
There's Broadchurch but does that actually exist?

The striking remains of Muthill Old Church and its once free-standing tower in Muthill, Perthshire. The tower probably dates from the 1170s; and the body of the church from around 1425. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Just today, I received an email from the diocesan archivist; he located several issues (with Denroche’s essays!!!) in an unmarked and heretofore unnoticed box. He scanned everything he was able to find. Denroche often wrote under the pseudonym “Mr. Oldchurch”! 2/2

I remember them being involved with the National Front and BNP and making the pedestrian foot tunnels near Oldchurch Hospital in Romford a scary prospect

Football fans in the 80s and 90s are the reason I've never watched football, even though I played it constantly. It wasn't worth the risk
