I got inside Mendip Hospital Chapel (for that is all that it was) in the early 1980s, by then the place was used as a furniture store, with hospital beds,...
The whole place was quite intriguing. A new housing estate has formed a square around the church and the hospital very posh flats. The church seems to be...
Things are not what they seem at Blagdon. Blagdon is situated near a huge resevoir on a hill. When I was a pupil at Redcliffe we went on a treasure hunt to...
Thanks Jeremy, sounds most likely - perhaps with the intention of putting in the small church. I can't find anything about St James church at all anywhere -...
