is now Coldridge. Greg Mishevski and Simon Edwards obliged with the
identification, and confirmation that they were indeed of the same church, and

Weare Giffard, Holy Trinity. Previously (and for a long time) in the "Unknown" section. Roger Hopkins found a box of
Victorian negatives, and the only clue to the whereabouts of the photos was one
negative labelled "Moortown Church". Despite
his searches through the numerous Moortown's in Britain and Ireland, he'd been
unable to identify the church, and despite much effort by other keen church detectives, its identity remained undiscovered for a long time. My appreciation to
Greg Mishevski, who finally solved the mystery. SS 467 221. Link.
