Where's this Church

[Old Cruser]

Here's the pic OC

Yes thank you Fly.
It has been thought that it may have been taken outside what is now the Tupton Fish Bar. The building across is now a shop with no window but the angle is possible right?
So still a question mark as to where it is but a strong possibility?

[Old Cruser]

It certainly looks like the same one - only the wall is much closer to the Church in the photograph of my grandfather and there are some pretty old looking grave stone in the picture Fly has found between the wall and the Church??

Trust me on this OC it's the right one all right.

Since the old photo and modern images of the church has been taken things have obviously changed

The group in the photo are sat were the gate is now, in the modern photo's the wall is obviously a "new" one, this means some of the grounds might have been extended possibly to the left of the gate. The lady on the far right has a tombstone on her right elbow that seems to match one of the two stones just to the right of the gate [inside] on the new photo also there is now a Cenotaph on the grounds as since the photo was taken we have had to endure two world wars.

The old wall "appears" to be closer but the churchyard slopes down to the church and I think this may have created an optical illusion on the photo.

Well I thank you very much Soretro and Fly for your input.
Much appreciated and yes - I owe you a Pint !

I told my aunt about the Church. She was so thrilled  that it has been found he father was one of the young boys
Another thank you from Ellen

Just a bit of t.v. trivia.......

We've been catching up on the t.v. series Unforgotten on I think the my5 channel and in one episode a "mother" is talking to her "son" sat at  a beer table. I recognised the pub straight away it was the Snowshill arms with the churchyard opposite.

I know........

I REALLY REALLY do need to get out more!

Was it the same Church yard????????

[Sorastro]

Yes it is........on the old photo is part of a building in the background between the small child and the lady on the far right. This is the pub the Snowshill arms. Obviously on the modern google map at the same angle that background is now obscured by small trees.

I did get out this time....we've just got back from a few days away near the Cotswolds and on checking my trusty road map we found ourselves only a stones throw away from Snowshill village so we popped there really nice little village, parked in the Snowshill pub car park {as seen in the background of the photo} and walked across the road to the church. Sadly the church was closed but a beautiful building, on the old photo I walked from the church door up a slope on the grounds to where your "family" are sat which is where one of the gates is now. I can make out that the tombstone on the ladies elbow is the far right of the two in the modern pictures, the other to it's left is obviously hidden by the child.

Then went into the pub for a quick drink, loads of photo's on the walls of the old village taken about the same time as your photo, didn't stay long {as I was driving} but wouldn't mind spending an evening in the pub.... really worth a visit.

Thanks for the information it sounds a lovely place maybe not spoiled by the years

It would appear I made a mistake over these tombstones. I photographed these on my phone {when there} and forgotten I'd got them so when I finally transferred them onto my old computer and blew them up so I could read the names they can't be the ones on the original photo, as the dates on these are post W.W.1...JANUARY 29th 1929 and MAY 31st 193? respectively.
 Therefore the grounds MUST have been extended.... so the gravestones in the original must be further inside the grounds.
We are going back down that neck of the woods in a couple of weeks time and if we get the opportunity to visit Snowshill again I will try to track down the original stones.

Blimey thank you for this information, it's intriguing!
My grandfather was in WW1, like many others he signed up before he was of an age to do so, so yes you are right that the gravestone cannot be the one at the back of where they were sitting.
Thank you for the update Sorastro you are very kind
