CAN you guess where this week’s Mystery Photograph was taken?

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

Last week’s mystery photograph courtesy of Radstock Museum showed a church, but which one?

Paul Hancock emailed in his guess: “I can't give any info but I think that's Clandown Church." Mystery Photograph regular, Jeff Parsons, wrote in to say: “The picture in this week's Journal is of the former Holy Trinity Church, Clandown.

“This was built in 1846/47 to a design by G P Manners, who was the Bath City Architect at the time, in the Perpendicular Style. It is listed Grade 2.

“It was declared redundant in 1983 and sold in 1987 for use as a private residence. It was linked with St John the Baptist Church, Midsomer Norton.

“My great grandfather Henry Gane Rogers was elected as Parish church warden by The Vestry at one time in the late 1800's and my grandfather, Edward George Rogers worshipped there from time to time, walking from Clevedon Road in Midsomer Norton.

“He married Kate Scrine in 1904 at Holt near Trowbridge, who was the cook at the Vicarage.”

Thank you Jeff once again for some fantastic insight. The image does indeed show the old Holy Trinity Church at Clandown.

It lies two miles from Midsomer Norton, and was converted by architect Derek Jewell retaining the original 19th century ecclesiastical structure.

Built in 1846 with money from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall as well as “liberal donations” from many others including The Bishop of Bath Wells and the Church Building Society, it was built to contain room for 380 worshippers.

Thanks again to Radstock Museum for this week’s photograph.
