Unknown church
« on: Monday 08 October 18 13:43 BST (UK) »
Does anyone recognise this building?
The cinquefoil windows within the gothic arch might be distinctive - Victorian?
It looks like an Edwardian/!st WW photo and was with a couple of photos from a school in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, but the teacher is different to the others, so that may be a red herring.
I have no idea whether the large trophy helps, but I don't know what it is.

First thoughts - it looks like the cloisters of whatever establishment it is, because of the large windows going down almost to ground level.

It's usually cathedrals rather than parish churches that have cloisters, but I haven't found any with cinquefoils like that. Salisbury has them, but the top ones there are bigger than the other two.

Given the make-up of the group with the schoolmaster in the middle, I wonder if this is actually a school rather than a church/cathedral. That might also account for the stonework looking fairly recent and uneroded (ie Victorian rather than 14th-15th century). In fact, I even wonder if the tracery (the bars etc between the panes of glass) in the windows might be wood rather than stone, but that too would point to Victorian gothic revival rather than something much older.

I agree with arthurk; may be a 'house' of a public school showing their trophies from a particular year.

Agree - a public school Cadet corps with trophies. Taken 1890's to 1920 ish. Wide date range as the Eton collars were used over many years as was the early style of army uniform.

Perhaps a high resolution scan of just the central trophy may help.

It looks a bit like crossed keys in the lower part of the main trophy...

best regards,
