One small correction however, the wooden plaque “on leaving the church” lists those who served in the Great War but were spared. CHL Bubb was indeed LB Bubb’s son (and my grandfather). He died in 1979 and is buried in Quenington Cemetery. One other name on the plaque intrigues me, that is S. Armstrong. LB Bubbs wife was a Maud Mary Armstrong from the North of England. She had a brother called Sidney. Were they one and the same?<br />Regards Charles (charlesferrand@hotmailico.uk)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-53082757780516135562010-03-14T17:58:42.429+00:002010-03-14T17:58:42.429+00:00What a wonderful blog!

I love these cotswold churches, they're so peaceful. Do you know the one at Compton Abdale, quite near to these? My husband has family associations there, it's a favourite with us.Jeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553005051612551946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-18101353888652649452010-03-13T18:23:06.460+00:002010-03-13T18:23:06.460+00:00Amazing.

(And still in use, yet!)<br /><br />I know it's all a question of perspective... someone I know has a friend from Canberra, Australia, which despite being founded in 1913 really only took off being built after World War II. Her friend marvels at a restaurant here in the western U.S. which has been in continuous operation for the last 60 years, as few buildings in Canberra are that old.Soozcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549632685008663664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-11850544558039320442010-03-12T13:10:30.228+00:002010-03-12T13:10:30.228+00:00Love the pictures, especially the one with the min...Love the pictures, especially the one with the mints on the pew.<br /> CarlaSouthern Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732279575596442033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-74717600679819107352010-03-12T12:20:21.577+00:002010-03-12T12:20:21.577+00:00Hi Gretel-What magic to find the pipe!
