Stubbings, Berks, St. James the Less. The postcard of "Stebbings" Church had been on the website for rather a long time, listed under Stebbing, Essex. The Rev. Tim Goodbody, of Stebbing, has been in touch to say that this isn't his church. I listed it under Stebbing rather than Stebbings because I couldn't find any trace of a Stebbings place-name in the UK, and under Essex, because I could find only one Stebbing. We have Sue Hedger to thank for solving this mystery - it is in fact Stubbings, in Berkshire. Sue says she isn't aware of a name change, so this has to be lain at the door of the postcard manufacturer for getting it wrong! From an old postcard, Bulman Collection. Link1.
