We had a huge response to last week’s Mystery Photograph, with many of you guessing it correctly as St Nicholas Church, Radstock.

Many hanks to the following who guessed correctly: Cheryl Walker, Val Davis, Angela Wilson, Amanda Jones, Roy Barnes, Val Rogers, Alan and Norma Norris, Paul Hancock, Christine Oatley, Chris James, Sally Bown, Norma Attwood, Les Box, Hannah Selway, Delphine Watts, Richard Edwards, Valerie Rogers, Jonathan Griffin, Jeff Parsons, Sid and Neil Johnson.

Thank you to Richard Edwards who told The Journal: “This week’s Mystery Photograph appears to be looking across to Radstock from the cemetery of St Nicholas’s Church. In the distance, to the right of the Church is what appears to be the chimney of Ludlows Colliery, with the peaks of the Tyning Batches to the left of the Church tower.

“Regarding last week’s photo of the Chapel at Great Elm, looking remarkably unchanged today as confirmed by Google Earth Street View, I am almost 100% certain the car in the bottom right hand corner is a Hillman Avenger. Apparently only thirty are left in the UK with an MOT out of an estimate of around 229 still surviving.”

A special thanks to Somerset Coalfield Life who said: “St Nicholas’ Church records date from its consecration, on 6th December 1267, St Nicholas’ Day. St Nicholas was known as the ‘protector of children’ a view of him that has come down to us today as part of our Christmas celebrations where St Nicholas is known as Santa Claus. There was almost certainly a Norman Church on the site before this; some evidence for this exists and can be seen, within the existing Church walls.

“St Nicholas’ School, formerly known as Radstock Church School, is where the Reverend Boodle embarked on educating the less advantaged of Radstock’s children in a room beneath the bell tower in 1825.

“By 1840, the Reverend and Mrs Boodle were teaching in a cottage in the Church grounds. In 1850 discussions were held between the Reverend and Countess Waldergrave around having a new purpose built school. The Countess gave land next to the St Nicholas’ Church for the new school, which was built and ready to use by 1857 and was used until 2006. The Victorian school is now derelict.”
