Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0N8DP - Grappenhall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book with the name Gropenhale and with a valuation of five shillings.
St Wilfrid's Church has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs “ the Parr Arms and the Ram's Head “ and Grappenhall Hall Residential School (no longer a Residential School) and St. Wilfrid's Primary School. Bradshaw Community Primary School is located north of the village centre.
Parts of the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes were filmed in the centre of Grappenhall. The village name appears in the title of the song Grappenhall Rag, by the Darwen singer-songwriter Bryn Haworth.
Grappenhall is home to the 25th Warrington East (St. Wilfrid's) Scout Troop. There is also a cricket ground, which is the home of Grappenhall Cricket Club.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FH99 - .

The subject also sits alongside bus route infrastructure, national symbolism, before-and-after reference, public transport information, community identity, local mobility, roadside transit, and civic identity. The combination of Crossing, Knutsford, cross, Waiting, and Latchford anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The period setting at the recorded location helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. The location additionally provides evidence of reliability and the shift toward cleaner buses and integrated ticketing without losing the local specificity of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FHA1 - . This authentic period view of the recorded location in 2016 preserves the main subject alongside smaller contextual details that can acquire greater historical value as places and uses change. The image documents Port Warrington, Manchester Ship Canal, Cheshire, England UK. Further facets of the scene include historic streetscape, architectural detail, historical comparison, community identity, everyday life, period building, place identity, historic townscape, heritage landmark, public realm, visual archive, before-and-after reference, archival record, and heritage asset. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into energy retrofit and maintenance, not least because of how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change. Small period details of street furniture and boundaries at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following changing commercial priorities. The surrounding story also includes changing streetscape, architectural character, regional identity, built heritage, local character, conservation architecture, social history, and documentary photography. Elements such as Manchester and Canal add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The wider significance includes energy retrofit and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is tourism and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate planning control and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change within the real-world context of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FK35 - . The Mersey Hotel, Widnes West Bank, Cheshire, England, UK. Photographed on 17 September 2016. West Bank Dock was situated on the River Mersey at Widnes. It was built in 1864 to cater for the growing chemical industry. It took over some of the traffic of the Widnes Dock. The dock closed in the 1970. The historical context is that cash, banknotes and banking equipment document the everyday financial system before contactless cards and mobile payments became dominant
Bank buildings, notes, coins, cheques and cash machines also trace the history of regional banking, savings institutions and the changing design of money. Historically, british agriculture has repeatedly adapted to mechanisation, evolving markets and environmental policy
Tractors, fields, cereal crops and allotment vegetables each represent different scales of food production, while also documenting seasonal work and rural landscapes. In historical terms, pub buildings and signs provide a valuable record of the licensed trade, from traditional alehouses and brewery estates to contemporary hospitality businesses
They are also part of the story of changing high streets, nightlife, real ale, cask beer and the survival or reuse of historic premises. The subject remains topical in 2026 because cash is used less often than in previous decades but remains important, particularly for vulnerable consumers and some small businesses
FCA access-to-cash rules require designated banks and building societies to assess local provision and address significant gaps, making images of ATMs, notes and former branches relevant to financial inclusion. In 2026, current agricultural debate combines food production with environmental land management, biodiversity and climate adaptation
Photographs of crops and cultivation therefore have both traditional rural and contemporary sustainability relevance. Relevant long-tail terms include currency, sterling, personal finance, cashpoint, and payment methods.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H04G07 - London Central and London General are relatively new bus companies, being formed in 1989 in preparation for the privatisation of London Buses Limited. However, both companies' origins can be traced back to one of the original pioneers of bus operations in the capital, the London General Omnibus Company Limited (LGOC).
LGOC, or General as it was known, operated services throughout the capital and was absorbed into the new London Transport Executive in 1933. London Transport became synonymous with the red London bus until the bus operation was segregated in 1985, becoming London Buses Ltd and London Underground Ltd.
Upon privatisation in autumn 1994, London Central was purchased by the Go-Ahead Group, who are based in Newcastle, which itself was formed on the privatisation of Northern General Transport Ltd, previously part of the National Bus Company. London General was initially purchased by an employee / management team, being subsequently acquired by the Go-Ahead Group in the summer of 1996. These purchases were part of a policy of expansion by the Go-Ahead Group which continues today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY002A - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse.[3] The foundations of this church were discovered during the 1873“74 restoration.[4]
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel.
The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 1873“74 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJ791A - Stevenson Square was built as a speculative development in the 1780s, originally planned as a middle class residential area. Its developer William Stevenson bought land on the north-east edge of the growing Georgian town and laid out a grid of streets around a rectangular square.
The residential aspect of the suburb was not a success and by the early 19th Century the area was being developed with cotton warehouses and mills. This caused a decline in the social status of the area and by the end of the 19th Century, the area was densely developed with commercial buildings alongside workers' housing.
In 1893 the site of Sevendale House was crossed by Bennett Street and occupied by a mixture of houses and small warehouses with inner yards. By the 1890s the success of the cotton trade led to much larger warehouses being built on amalgamated plots, changing the urban grain and scale of the area.
Sevendale House was built as a trade warehouse for I.J. & G.Cooper Ltd in 1903-6 and designed by Manchester architect John Bowden. The footprint of Sevendale House occupies a double urban block with principal elevations fronting Dale Street, Lever Street and Stevenson Square.
The warehouse was considered to be innovative at the time, with a steel-frame, concrete floors and internal lightwell.

With increased tram traffic brought about by the expansion of the Metrolink network, it became necessary to build a new route across Manchester City Centre to alleviate congestion and improve capacity.
Known as the Second City Crossing (or 2CC), the project involved laying 0.8 miles (1.3 km) of tram tracks from St Peter's Square tram stop via Princess Street, Albert Square, Cross Street and Corporation Street to rejoin the original Metrolink line just before Victoria station. One new tram stop was built at Exchange Square. The project also involved re-ordering St Peter's Square and re-siting the Cenotaph to accommodate an enlarged tram interchange and junction. Construction began in 2014 and the 2CC route opened fully in February 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBNHX - . Made at the recorded location in 2016, this photograph records a real place and moment, preserving details that may later be altered by redevelopment, rebranding, changing ownership or different public use. The frame specifically shows A & H Reich, Cotton Goods etc, Handkerchiefs etc, brass company plaque, Manchester Cotton Goods, City Centre, Manchester, North west England, UK. The broader subject matter reaches into local remembrance, place-based commemoration, regional music heritage, club-music history, public realm, place identity, commemorative plaque, music memorial, local character, DJ culture, contemporary social history, changing land use, regional identity, and period detail. Today's relevance is strengthened by commemoration, music heritage and the continuing question of the importance of documenting club and dance-music history. As a dated visual record of the recorded location, the frame retains local activity and public use, making it especially useful if redevelopment subsequently changes the scene. Further associations within the scene are everyday life, historical comparison, community tribute, changing streetscape, community identity, before-and-after reference, archival record, and visual archive. References to brass, Reich, Centre, Goods, and Manchester give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. The wider setting at the recorded location matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another useful connection is commemoration and how memorials preserve figures from regional music scenes outside formal institutions as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The scene further reflects grassroots culture and how memorials preserve figures from regional music scenes outside formal institutions when considered against later change at the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBNJK - Chinatown in Manchester, England is an ethnic enclave in the city centre. It is the second largest Chinatown in the United Kingdom and the third largest in Europe. It has an archway on Faulkner Street which was completed in 1987 and contains many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Nepali, Vietnamese, Singaporean and Malaysian restaurants, shops, bakeries and supermarkets.
The first settlers to arrive in the city came in the early 20th century
according to the BBC, Many arrived alone and were engaged in what was seen as the traditional trade of laundries. Manchester's first Chinese restaurant, Ping Hong, opened on Mosley Street in 1948, on the eve of a Chinese immigration wave that would commence during the 1950s. Manchester did not have a significant Chinese population, reaching only about 2,000. However, after World War II, there were severe labour shortages, and in response, the government passed the British Nationality Act 1948, which allowed easier access into the country. Additionally, Hong Kong's rapid urbanisation meant that many farmers and traditional residents' homes were being destroyed by the urban sprawl, so many decided to migrate.
The area's beginnings are rooted in the restaurant business, as many Chinese restaurants surfaced soon after the immigration boom. By the 1970s other Chinese businesses began to emerge, such as medicine shops, Chinese supermarkets, as well as financial and legal services, all serving the employees of the expanding number of Chinese restaurants in the area. There was even a Hong Kong government office and a branch of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation during the 1970s. In 1989 the Chinese Arts Centre opened in Chinatown. In 2013 the Bank of East Asia opted to open their first Manchester branch in Chinatown, situated on Charlotte Street. The branch officially opened on 25 October 2013, in a ceremony attended by the Lord Mayor of Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ECW4H6 - . Holy Trinity Church Woodgreen Witney plaque of remembrance, West Oxfordshire, England, UK. Photographed on 19 December 2014. The recorded location is Woodgreen, Witney, West Oxfordshire, England, UK. Holy Trinity Church is neo-Gothic in design. The foundation stone was laid on 5th. May, 1848 and the church was consecrated on 11th. July 1849. It stands on Woodgreen and serves a mainly residential part of the town. In the longer view, churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, evolving liturgy, local benefactors, war remembrance and family history. Historically, commemorative plaques, gravestones and monuments transform individual or collective memory into a permanent feature of the landscape
Their wording, materials and location can illuminate genealogy, social history, military service and changing attitudes to public remembrance. Historically, public wording is part of the visual landscape
Direction signs, warning notices, painted advertisements and engraved plaques show how authorities and businesses communicated before digital screens and app-based information became widespread. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for conservation, tourism, music, community use and local identity
Their maintenance illustrates the continuing challenge of caring for ageing heritage buildings while keeping them accessible and relevant. In 2026, interest in community history, genealogy and the conservation of memorials remains strong, while weathering, redevelopment and vandalism can threaten smaller monuments and inscriptions
Detailed photographs help preserve lettering, names and physical condition before further weathering or alteration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ECW4H8 - . Holy Trinity Church Woodgreen Witney lit tabernacle , West Oxfordshire, England, UK. Photographed on 19 December 2014. The recorded location is Woodgreen, Witney, West Oxfordshire, England, UK. Holy Trinity Church is neo-Gothic in design. The foundation stone was laid on 5th. May, 1848 and the church was consecrated on 11th. July 1849. It stands on Woodgreen and serves a mainly residential part of the town. The historical context is that ecclesiastical buildings are both active places of worship and repositories of local history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments offer evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space. The wider historical story is that memorials and inscriptions are primary sources for local and family history, preserving names, dates, occupations, military service and the language of remembrance
They range from private graves to civic monuments and can reveal how communities chose to commemorate loss in different periods. The wider historical story is that street signs, shop fascias, notices and inscriptions combine practical communication with graphic design
Typefaces, colours and wording can identify an era, organisation or community custom, making close photographs valuable for social, transport and commercial history. The subject remains topical in 2026 because many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events
Images of their interiors and memorials therefore serve architectural, heritage and social-history uses. In the present 2026 context, memorials continue to play an active role in public history, supporting remembrance, genealogy, education and heritage tourism
Images can also record inscriptions before erosion or redevelopment alters the physical object.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ECW4H9 - . Holy Trinity Church Woodgreen Witney plaque of remembrance, West Oxfordshire, England, UK. Photographed on 19 December 2014. The recorded location is Woodgreen, Witney, West Oxfordshire, England, UK. Holy Trinity Church is neo-Gothic in design. The foundation stone was laid on 5th. May, 1848 and the church was consecrated on 11th. July 1849. It stands on Woodgreen and serves a mainly residential part of the town. Looking at the subject's development, parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, Victorian restoration, monuments, stained glass, organs, altars and inscriptions can coexist in a single building, reflecting generations of worship and local patronage. As background, historic inscriptions provide unusually direct documentary evidence
Names, dates, dedications and symbolic imagery can connect a present-day location with former residents, workers, congregations or wartime casualties, making the object relevant to both genealogy and wider social history. As background, signs and notices are ephemeral pieces of design that can become significant historical evidence
Lettering, logos, warnings and directions record former businesses, regulations, transport systems and public messages that may disappear long before the surrounding building changes. For the 2026 context, historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for conservation, tourism, music, community use and local identity
Their maintenance illustrates the continuing challenge of caring for ageing heritage buildings while keeping them accessible and relevant. Against the 2026 backdrop, interest in local history, genealogy and the conservation of memorials remains strong, while weathering, redevelopment and vandalism can threaten smaller monuments and inscriptions
Detailed photographs help preserve lettering, names and physical condition before further weathering or alteration.

The scene is closely associated with Setlist, Television, Manchester, Academy, set list, songs, listing, set, list and re-union, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The subject has strong relevance to education, school life, pupils, students, classmates, learning and the rituals that mark transitions between stages of childhood and young adulthood. It can support editorial features about schools, the end of term, friendship, uniforms, memories, examinations, moving to a new school, student identity and the social traditions that develop around education. Handwriting, names, clothing, classroom or school-related details can provide authentic visual evidence of personal experience rather than a staged educational concept. The photograph can therefore work for both contemporary education stories and longer-term social-history coverage of how pupils commemorate school years and friendships. Search themes include education, school life, pupils, classmates, school leavers, uniforms, end-of-term traditions, childhood memories and transitions between stages of education. Personal marks, handwriting, clothing or school-related objects give the subject a human documentary quality that is useful for social-history as well as education coverage. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4GH1 - Flamenco, in its strictest sense, is a professionalized art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of Southern Spain in the autonomous communities of Andalusia, Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, it refers to these musical traditions and more modern musical styles which have themselves been deeply influenced by and become blurred with the development of flamenco over the past two centuries. It includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance), jaleo (vocalizations), palmas (handclapping) and pitos (finger snapping).
The oldest record of flamenco dates to 1774 in the book Las Cartas Marruecas by José Cadalso. Flamenco has been influenced by and associated with the Romani people in Spain
however, its origin and style are uniquely Andalusian.
Although the Diccionario de la lengua española associates it especially with the Gypsy ethnicity, is more than perceptible the fusion of the different cultures that coincided in the Andalusia of the time. Of all the hypotheses about its origin, the most widespread thesis is that which exposes the Morisco origin, only that the cultural miscegenation that occurred then in Andalusia: Natives, Muslims, Gypsies, Castilians and Jews
propitiated its creation. In fact, it already existed in the region of Andalusia its germ long before the Gypsies arrived, also taking into account that there were gypsies in other regions of Spain and Europe, flamenco was only cultivated by those who were in Andalusia.
Flamenco has become popular all over the world and is taught in many non-Hispanic countries, especially the United States and Japan. In Japan, there are more flamenco academies than there are in Spain. On November 16, 2010, UNESCO declared flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYXXB - Nymphaea is a genus of hardy and tender aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. Many species are cultivated as ornamental plants, and many cultivars have been bred. Some taxa occur as introduced species where they are not native, and some are weeds. Plants of the genus are known commonly as water lilies or waterlilies in the United Kingdom. The genus name is from the Greek νυμφαια, nymphaia and the Latin nymphaea, which mean water lily and were inspired by the nymphs of Greek and Latin mythology.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4GYY - The abbey was founded in 1246 by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, called King of the Romans and the younger brother of King Henry III of England. Richard founded the abbey to thank God after he had survived a shipwreck. Richard had been granted the manor of Hailes by King Henry, and settled it with Cistercian monks from Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire. The great Cistercian abbey was entirely built in a single campaign in 1277, and was consecrated in a royal ceremony that included the King and Queen and 15 bishops.
Hailes Abbey became a site of pilgrimage after Richard's son Edmund donated to the Cistercian community a phial of the Holy Blood, purchased in Germany, in 1270. Such a relic of the Crucifixion was a considerable magnet for pilgrimage. From the proceeds, the monks of Hailes were able to rebuild the Abbey on a magnificent scale. One Abbot of Hailes was executed as a rebel after the Battle of Bramham Moor, in 1408.
Though King Henry VIII's commissioners declared the famous relic to be nothing but the blood of a duck, regularly renewed, and though the Abbot Stephen Sagar admitted that the Holy Blood was a fake in hope of saving the Abbey, Hailes Abbey was one of the last religious institutions to acquiesce following the Dissolution Act of 1536. The Abbot and his monks finally surrendered their abbey to Henry's commissioners on Christmas Eve 1539.
After the Dissolution, the west range consisting of the Abbot's own apartments was converted into a house and was home to the Tracy family in the seventeenth century, but these buildings were later demolished and now all that remains are a few low arches in a meadow with outlines in the grass. Surviving remains include the small church for the disappeared parish, with unrestored medieval wall-paintings

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD57E0 - St Peter's Church in Winchcombe is one of the great wool churches in the Cotswolds, an area blessed with similar reminders of the wealth of local medieval wool merchants.
The exterior is dominated by a striking west tower, 90 feet high, with 8 pinnacles. Atop the tower is a gilded weathercock, brought here in 1874 from the historic church of St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol. But it is not the weathercock that most people come to Winchcombe to see, but the grotesque carvings that embellish the battlemented roofline of the exterior. (Often called gargoyles, they are technically grotesques, for they do not have water spouts passing through them as a true gargoyle does).
There are 40 of these carvings
about 20 depict demonic creatures, and the remainder appear to be caricatures of locally important people, both civic figures and Abbey officials. To the left (west) of the south porch is a grinning figure of Sir Ralph Boteler of Sudeley, who gave money to complete the church. More famous, and beloved of postcard photographers, is a figure to the east of the porch, a grimacing human figure with a squat hat. This figure is said to be the model for the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland story.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Altar frontal made of 14th century vestments, stitched by Catherine of Aragon
Saxon coffins of King Kenwulph and his son, St Kenelm
Amusing gargoyles including the possible model for the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland
The first written record of a church dedicated to St Peter in Winchcombe comes from 1175, when a church associated with the Benedictine Abbey here is mentioned. It seems very likely that there was a much earlier Saxon church, dedicated to St Nicholas.
That Norman church gradually fell into disrepair, and in 1458 Abbot William began building a new church. The lord of Sudeley Castle, Lord Ralph Boteler, granted money to help finish the construction, and the new church was completed in just 10 years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDD6E2 - A beehive is an enclosed structure man-made in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young. Though the word beehive is commonly used to describe the nest of any bee colony, scientific and professional literature distinguishes nest from hive. Nest is used to discuss colonies which house themselves in natural or artificial cavities or are hanging and exposed. Hive is used to describe an artificial, man-made structure to house a honey bee nest. Several species of Apis live in colonies, but for honey production the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) are the main species kept in hives.
The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed group of hexagonal prismatic cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen) and to house the brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae).
Beehives serve several purposes: production of honey, pollination of nearby crops, housing supply bees for apitherapy treatment, and to try to mitigate the effects of colony collapse disorder. In America, hives are commonly transported so that bees can pollinate crops in other areas. A number of patents have been issued for beehive designs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYEHJ - Brympton d'Evercy (alternatively Brympton House), a manor house near Yeovil in the county of Somerset, England, has been called the most beautiful in England. In 1927 the British magazine Country Life published a set of three articles on the house, in which Christopher Hussey, near the start of his 50-year career as an architectural authority and documenter of British country houses, described it as the one which created the greatest impression and summarises so exquisitely English country life qualities. His articles remain the only detailed account of the house, which in its long history has belonged to six families: the D'Evercys, the Stourtons, the Sydenhams, the Fanes, the Weeks (1992“2008), and the Glossop family in 2008.
The house is part of a complex consisting of the mansion, its stables and other outbuildings, the parish church and a puzzling building known as the Priest House. Little remains of the original D'Evercy manor built between 1220 and 1325, as the present house has evolved on the same site.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYFFR - The Church of St Andrew in Brympton, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
It is closely associated with the manor house of Brympton d'Evercy. The d'Evercy family were responsible for building the church. Thomas d'Evercy purchased the estate in 1220. Sir Peter founded a chantry at Brympton d'Evercy in 1306, endowing a priest with a messuage and 40 acres (16 ha) in the parish. New aisles were added in 1469.
It has been suggested that this is the building today known as the priest house, but no structural evidence exists to support this claim. The church contains monuments to Sir John Sydenham (died 1626) and his family who were lords of the manor.
Some of the effigies within the church were originally in the churchyard but were moved into the church in the 19th century and restored by John Edward Carew.
The parish is within the benefice of Odcombe with Brympton, Lufton and Montacute, which is within the deanery of Yeovil

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYJ18 - Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first game in 1881 on a ground in Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed. From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.

'Gent' who made the town a wee bit famous...
Bygone Burnley, with JACK NADIN
DUCKETT Street, above the former Holy Trinity Church on Accrington Road,
takes its name from James Duckett, of Duckett's Pipe Works, and is a firm
that will still be remembered by many folk in the area. Here, traditionally kiln fired and salt glazed pipes, urinals and drains were manufactured well into the late 1960s, and early 1970s. The firm occupied both sides of Blannel Street, the site of which is now used by small industrial units. On the other side of Accrington Road was the huge quarry used in connection with the pipe works -- also a kids' playground at weekends known locally as Duckett's Delph. The demise of the Duckett's Works was probably brought about by the introduction of plastic for drains and pipes -- much cheaper than fired clay. So who was James Duckett
of Duckett's Pipe Works? Well, James Duckett, the founder of this firm, was born in December, 1825, the son of John and Jenny, his father was employed as a cotton spinner. At the age of nine or 10, he entered into employment at the cotton mill, as many youngsters did at this time, following his father. However, millwork was not suited to young James, he preferred the more open, outdoor work. After a while he was apprenticed to the job of working as a mason, with his brother, who at that time was erecting the building to be known as Barrowford Church. This would be around 1840, when James was just 15 years old. James found this occupation much better suited to his temperament, and a few years later, while still in his teens, he was made a partner in the business. The first large contract the firm was entrusted to was the erection of St Mary's Roman Catholic Church at Burnley, which was opened for divine service on August 2, 1849. Kelbrook Church, near Earby, was also built by James Duckett,.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDJNK3 - Brympton d'Evercy (also known as Brympton House) is a manor house near Yeovil in the county of Somerset, England. It has been called the most beautiful house in England, a country noted for fine country houses. In 1927 the British magazine Country Life published a set of three articles on the house, in which Christopher Hussey, near the start of his 50-year career as an architectural authority and documenter of British country houses, described Brympton d'Evercy as the most incomparable house in Britain, the one which created the greatest impression and summarises so exquisitely English country life qualities. His articles remain the only detailed account of the house, which in its long history has belonged to six families: the D'Evercys, the Stourtons, the Sydenhams, the Fanes, the Weeks (1992“2008), and the Glossop family in 2008. Building was begun by the D'Evercy family about 1220 and proceeded slowly into the 18th century. For 750 years it remained little known or recorded. For a few years after the Second World War it held a boys' school, before being reclaimed by its owners as a private house. This it remains, although it is occasionally hired out as a location for filming or a hospitality event.
Brympton d'Evercy from the south around 1722 by Jan Kip and Leonard Knyff.
The house is part of a complex consisting of the mansion, its stables and other outbuildings, the parish church and a puzzling building known as the Priest House. Little remains of the original D'Evercy manor built between 1220 and 1325, as the present house has evolved on the same site.
Brympton d'Evercy was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Brunetone, meaning brown enclosure, from the Old English brun and tun.
The village of Brympton is larger today than at any time in its history. Until the 20th century, it barely qualified as a village, having been deserted in the 14th century. It consisted only of a few cottages scattered along the long drive to the secluded mansion.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4HF1 - The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London, England.
Its name, which is derived from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement, the New Palace that stands today. The palace is owned by the monarch in right of the Crown and for ceremonial purposes, retains its original status as a royal residence. The building is managed by committees appointed by both houses, which report to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the 11th century, and Westminster was the primary residence of the Kings of England until fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of the Parliament of England, which had been meeting there since the 13th century, and also as the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only significant medieval structures to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, and the Jewel Tower.
