Fairlie, North Ayrshire, the Parish Church. © Martin Briscoe. Two old postcard views 1, 2, both from Reg Dosell's Collection. Unknown Church. © Martin Briscoe. My appreciation to Alan Mathew for advising that this is the former St. Margaret, originally built as a Free Church in 1844, then, after a fire, re-built in 1879. Following the merger of the congregation with that of St. Paul, the parish church, in 1968, St. Margaret became the church hall of the united congregation, then later was changed to residential use.

The altar, east window, and the trumpet-blowing angels in the roof can be better seen here. This church has quite the most bizarre tomb I've ever seen - the couple have been carved in their shrouds!!

Fosdyke, Lincs., All Saints. This marvellous old postcard (from Reg Dosell's Collection) had to be heavily processed, and was previously in the "Unknown" section. Showing Fosdyke Old Church, it bears some resemblance to Fosdyke Fen Church, as shown here, but quite apart from the vanished tower, other details don't match - so where is it? Janet Gimber has made a good argument for it being All Saints, Fosdyke, but a previous incarnation. She quotes Genuki which states that the church was re-built in 1871, and an old source which describes the pre-1871 building - built in 1756 (no photo unfortunately) - which seems to match the old postcard. Can any Lincolnshire expert confirm this scenario?? Thanks to Garry Barr for confirming that it is indeed All Saints as Janet suspected, and for supplying this link, which has the same photo. Garry advises that the gent in the top hat was the vicar, the Rev. Basil Beridge, who largely paid for the re-building of the church following a fire in 1871. The postcard shows the pre-1871 church. The present church. TF 315 333.

Fotheringhay, Nhants., St. Mary & All Saints. © Zoe Martin. A view from an old postcard, Bulman Collection. Previously in the "Unknown" section, this original drawing once belonged to an ancestor of Ken Edwards, and was thought to show a church maybe in the Maghull area (Lancs.), and was probably drawn before 1860. Many thanks indeed to Aidan Thomson, who says the church drawing itself, and the situation on the ground with the river, bears a great similarity to Fotheringhay in Northamptonshire. This makes the mound to the right in the drawing the site of Fotheringhay Castle. Further work by Janet Gimber means that this identification is now a certainty. The drawing is now thought to be about 180 years old. This old engraving (1827), is from Ken Edwards' Collection.
