Well done yet again Spidermonkey, and Mike for naming the church.

I agree, that mural is totally tragic, as if it wasn't ugly enough already!  As they say "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"  ;D

I wonder if for future quests, that if it may be worth posting a map with pinpoints of the ones that have been found, to see if there is any relationship to aa actual discerned area where these pictures have been taken.

Hi Malky, Pat has already posted a WAI church map here, which she updates as each one is found  :)

Yes Jool, I eventually did see it, but is all the found ones on it, as there seems so few considering that we are at 36?
I did mean to state that perhaps it may be wise to add all found ones starting at 1 through to 36

Malky, there has been a map of the houses found for some time. It was decided to do a separate one for churches as Caz has about 25 for us to find eventually.
I have now put the 2 maps on a new thread - Roll of honour maps of houses and churches, this will make them easier to see together.

Cheers Pat. Found the two. I was hoping that they would all be mainly concentrated in one area, but obviously not.

It's funny, but churches with "welted lead" roofs seemed to be the target of lead collectors. A google search of churches with that type of roofs opens a gallery of rogues.

Regards

Malky

The little church where I was christened has a sign "there is no lead on the roof!!"   Obviously sick and tired of lead thieves climbing up to see what they could pinch.  >:(

Many years ago.

Have found a link which has a modern picture of our church on - but no name!  It does however narrow down the area.........http://www.lambethcyclists.org.uk/2012/03/lambeth-cyclists-architecture-ride-this.html

How on earth did you find that!!   :o :o :o
