A pleasant walk around Cookley Church, again, I was born less than 100 yards from the church, I lived in Cookley till I left to get married in 1973, so I know the area pretty well.

 Roll of Honour








Holt Fleet

St Mary's Holt

Had a nice walk around this church today, very nice small church and so nice to see it open.

Was hoping to find some evidence of my ancestors here but no such luck.



First world war roll of honour

Memorial inside church

Slab in the floor

One of the many headstones leaning against the perimeter wall of the church, I took a few photos so if you think there may be one here of your ancestors then please ask, sadly most are corroded.

St Mary's Kidderminster

I have yet to go inside St Mary's for photos, but I will do so at some point.


Finally been inside St Mary and what a pleasure it was, shame it was raining outside.
