EACH week, the Journal invites readers to identify a historic location from days gone by.

Last week, we featured a picture supplied by Radstock Museum with a first entry from Jane Richardson asking: “This week it could be Binegar church with old school in the background?”

Jeff Parsons submitted a potted history with his guess saying: “I think that this week the picture features Holy Trinity at Binegar. The style of the parapet, the stunted finials and the shape and position of the windows seem to fit.”

A further entry from Tony Curtis said: “This weeks photo is of Holy Trinity church in Paulton,” while Val Curtis emailed to say: “I believe the photo this week is Paulton Holy Trinity Church with the old secondary school in the background.”

Well, the correct answer is Holy Trinity church at Binegar.

Congratulations to all those that guessed correctly; both Holy Trinity churches bear quite a resemblance to each other!

Any idea where this church is situated?

Jeff Parsons told us in his submission about a stained glass window in the church featuring a panel dedicated to Robert Uphill, the coroner for the North Somerset area.

He said: “He died at the early age of 36 and left a widow and six children, the youngest of whom, Charles, arranged for the memorial panel in the bottom of the window.

“This memorial was given by his son Charles on his visit from Australia September 1913.”

Charles returned to Australia and lived to the grand old age of 91 dying in St Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, and was finally laid to rest in the family vault in the cemetery at Deniliquin.

Our thanks go to Peter Strawbridge for this week’s puzzling Mystery Photograph, and to reader Jeff Parsons for his lengthy submission. Much appreciated.
