It was a difficult one last week, so well done to those who managed to work it out after much head scratching! Last week’s picture was of Cameley Church, thought to date from around 1905.

Well done to: Gilmour Jones, Simon Ball, Winston Eyles, Colin Button, Terry Reakes, Jonathan Griffin, Mrs Flower, E. Stead, Eric Brain, Jan Blake, Martin Horler, Mike Ford, Ivor Davis, Terry Harris, Dan Clark and Rosemary Fudge, who all guessed correctly.

It has brought back some fond memories and admiration from some of you.

Martin Horler was in touch with his guess and said: “Certainly no mystery this week, it is where my heart is, this is St James Church, Cameley.

“Generations of my family are buried in this churchyard; I am a member of the Friends of Cameley Committee, and we are currently planning ways of raising some £80,000 for work to be carried out on the Medieval Wall Paintings – also planning restoration of the bells, most likely another £100,000.

“I don’t think the bells have pealed within living memory, but I know they were pealed for my grandmother’s wedding on Christmas Day 1901 . . . I could go on!”

Terry Reakes says: The Church has a fascinating wealth of history, with John Betjeman describing it as “Rip Van Winkle’s Church”. It is a truly fascinating church, hats off to the Churches Conservation Trust maintaining its upkeep – it is well worth a visit. It is not a Cathedral, but to me it is awe inspiring, and beautiful in its own right.”

Eric Brain, from Clutton, adds: “Although the name has been removed from the picture, the original was by Letty Collinson of Clutton (see article in the recent Radstock Museum magazine, Five Arches). The photo was sold, maybe exclusively, as a post card from Appleby’s shop on the Green at Temple Cloud, with their details on the reverse. Also on the post card, the name Cameley was misspelt as ‘Camely’ and the picture had been tinted professionally. The scene is very much the same in 2019!”

So, back to this week – if you think you know the location of the photograph (top), supplied by Radstock Museum, and would like a mention next week, email: contactus@mnr journal.co.uk or via Facebook or Twitter @MNR Journal. You can even send us a photograph of how it looks today.
