My apologies, I jumped in too soon, obviously - in the context, the duplication is well justified. A superb set of pics.

Which church is it in the background please?

To quote Jim Latham from another photo:

There's a photo of this church in the section "Places" and then "Chapel Lane". The name is The Presbyterian Church.

Could well be wrong, but wasn't the church also a Swedenborgian place of worship in later years?
