Help identify church in Bucks or Oxon
« on: Wednesday 03 December 14 10:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi - can anyone help me identify the church in the attached picture, please? My g/grandfather Frank Morton Jeffs is second row, second from left, fair hair with whiskers.  Date of picture and his age not known, but he was born 1867 in Buckingham and was living in Warkworth / Grimsbury area of Banbury from 1885 and Gawcott, Bucks thereafter from about 1898.  I have also posted this on the Oxfordshire county topic forum. My web search has been unsuccessful, so any help will be much appreciated.   
Buckingham/Gawcott/Bucks - Jeffs; Bedfordshire - Morton; Oxon - Budd; Northampton - Cox; Duncton/Chichester/Sussex - Shepherd and Souter; Dublin, Brighton, Chiswick - Carthy.

Hi

Gawcott is a very short walk from . . . . .

St Peter and St Paul Buckingham Church
Castle Hill, Buckingham, MK18 1BY


Anyone live close enough to verify?

OR,
Why not email the photo to the church and see if they recognise anything?

Ray - thanks for your interest. From the photos of St.Peter and St.Paul seen on the internet, it does not seem to resemble the church and is a much taller structure.  That's a good idea to email one or two churches in the Gawcott area see if they can help. Thanks again.

Hi

The photo does not have to be taken directly in front of the actual "church" buildings.

There are other very similar buildings at the road junction end of church Street [ note windows ].
[ Use   z o o p l a   to view? ]
