Items from the Parish Archives

We are always grateful to receive any photographs, etc., no matter how insignificant, that can be added to the parish archive - for example, we only have one poor quality picture of the inside of the old Catholic church in Chapel Street. These will be photgraphed or scanned and the originals returned to the owner. Please leave any items with the Parish Office. Almost all of what you see below survive as unique examples that could have been too easily discarded, but that have somehow survived. Our past would have been that much poorer without them.
