Hilary's Local and Family History

29/05/2025

Continuing the Middleton thread: this is the view as you enter the grounds from the car park. Parts of this church are remnants of the original Norman church and the wooden edifice on top of the tower was to house bells without adding to the weight and the stress of the building. The grass gives a clue, too, the sunniest May for many a year! I’ll post another photo from Middleton tomorrow. www.middletonparishchurch.org.uk,

Roses, history and sunshine - definitely worth sharing with you these lovely roses snapped when I was at St Leonard's, parish church of Middleton, last week 🌸

Last week I made a surprise (to me) visit to the Parish Church of Middleton with some colleagues. It was a beautiful day, I couldn't resist these roses, the grounds - the old churchyard - were beautifully and lovingly kept with family-history treasures everywhere, and inside was full of history-treasures. I'll post another picture another time. Do visit, Friday afternoons seems to be a good time! I'll add another post tomorrow.
Their website is www.middletonparishchurch.org.uk — well worth a look.
