This has got to be one of the most beautiful churches I've seen. I come here three times a year as my Mumss ashes were given to area looking onto old Salisbury road. Carol Rose Mary Mead! My nan, Mrs Mead and her mum are buried here - maiden name was Pomroy. I've always loved coming here from an early age. | |
I was interested to search online for this church, as my great uncle's name appears on the war memorial from WW1 - John Collins - and his sister, my grandma, married in this church in 1917! I will pay it a visit one day ... | |
I wonder if you might have any information on Margaret Thistlethwayte (1523-1560) who was probably the daughter of Alexander Thistlethwayte and sister to Robert and Giles, who both died as bachelors. Margaret married John Batt (1517-1567) of Salisbury, Wiltshire. This may have been her second marriage as there is a reference to her marrying William Holmes first. I got some of this info from the memorials in All Saints Church. Many thanks. |
