Minster on Wikipedia.


Abbey Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Sexburgha (Minster Abbey). From an old postcard (franked 1927) in Tony Larkin's Collection. Michael Foot had sent in a sketch (previously in the "Unknown" section) to see if anyone could identify where it had been drawn. It was made in the 1890's by his gg-grandfather, who lived in London. Thanks go to Janet Gimber and Bill Davison who identified this one. Aided by this initial clue, Michael identified this one himself. It is the gatehouse for the same abbey. TQ 9560 7299. Link.

Bethel Congregational Church on Chapel Street is dated 1869. A map of 1898 labels it as Bethel Chapel (Independent). 2023 Streetview. TQ 9580 7294. Link.
