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.
