Inside Memorials Parish Registers Rectors List Stained Glass War Memorial Gravestones: A-F G-H I-O P-S T-Z |
In December 2000 members of All Saints, Lyddington (or Liddington as the road
signs now spell it), held an open day in order to raise funds towards the bell tower
repairs. We decided to go along and use this opportunity to introduce ourselves
and ask permission to take some photographs to put on our web site, even though it was
the middle of winter and the light wasn't really good enough for taking photographs.
It was worth the trip!! On display were the original (yes the original!)
Parish Registers along with other documents such as the church accounts, wills
and charts, all on loan from the County Records Office at Trowbridge. We
did manage to copy of few entries of a name we remembered somebody had been
researching in this parish.
Everyone was very welcoming, and even though the church had been locked, we were
invited inside in order to take our photographs. The church warden showed us
around, and even played a couple of tunes of the old barrell organ - thought to
be one of only six left in the country. The light faded all too soon, but
fortunately this mainly only affected the photographs of the stained glass windows.
Our thanks go to all those people who organised this event - to amateur genealogists like
us it was thrilling to see such a wealth of history. We hope the fund raising side was
successful too.
