Calry Parish Church was founded in 1824. G 697 361. © Gerard Close. An old postcard view, from Reg Dosell's Collection. Another old postcard in Reg Dosell's Collection. This almost identical postcard (also from Reg's collection) caused some initial confusion because I misinterpreted the caption as "Calry" - my appreciation to Howard Richter for clarifying the matter, and advising of this link.
