St Dunstan's church Somerton
« on: Monday 19 September 16 15:45 BST (UK) »
Hello
I am looking for a photo of the first St Dunstan's Roman Catholic church in Somerton.  It was of a wooden construction  - from 1927 until the current stone one was built in 1965.  Has anyone got a photo of it - perhaps in a wedding photo?
Thanks
Angela  :)

Why don't you write to St. Dunstan's and ask if they have any photos of the wooden church?  Their email address is:-

somerton.stdunstan@parish.cliftondiocese.com

The priest is the Rev. Jan Bak SDS

Hello
Thanks for your reply - but they have no photos of the former church.  Also there are no photos in any books in Somerton library.
thanks again

Hello again
Thanks for your suggestion - I think I did email them before - but no reply - I have just emailed them again.  I have also sent an email to the Somerton website. 
thanks
