Phil Draper has an extensive and ever-growing
site of pictures of churches he has visited, has boundless
enthusiasm for the subject, runs a separate site about the churches
of Bristol, and mediates the Church Crawling and Church Pictures
mailing lists. I quote below a couple of paragraphs from the front
page of the Church Crawling web site:
Link to Phil's site by clicking on the
Church Crawler icon immediately above.
The Bristol Churches site can be entered from his front page. I am
fortunate to have been able to use many of his photographs where
our interests overlap. |

Heather photographs churches in Nottinghamshire, and tends to
concentrate on exterior photographs, so that fellow genealogists
and family historians can have a photograph of the places their
ancestors were baptised, married and buried. She runs two web
sites:
Nottinghamshire Churches at www.oldnotts.co.uk/churches/index.htm and Ashfield History & Genealogy pages www.oldnotts.co.uk/ashfieldindex.htm

LINDA HALL |
|||||
| Interested in churches and castles from childhood
(I-Spy Churches etc). Degree in Archaeology and History from Southampton University; interest diverted from churches to vernacular architecture (i.e., houses and farm buildings, though I now believe many churches are just as vernacular) and thesis later turned into Rural Houses of North Avon and South Gloucestershire 1400-1720, published by Bristol City Museum in 1983. (Bristol is my home area.) "Fixtures and Fittings in Dated Houses 1567-1763 published 1994 by Council for British Archaeology. This comprises lots of measured drawings of doors, stairs, ironwork, etc., etc. Am currently working on a different and expanded version for Countryside Books, who have just published Down the Garden Path : Privies of the Bristol and Bath Area (great fun to research!!) Am also currently recording fixtures and fittings in Hampshire for a chapter in a book on dated houses of Hampshire. After doing "Fixtures and Fittings . . . " I returned to looking at churches, which are stuffed full of C17th and C18th woodwork! To make the task manageable I am now concentrating on actual west galleries. Perhaps this might make a Shire book one day. I belong to the Vernacular Architecture Group and the Regional Furniture Society; the latter organises excellent days out looking at church furnishings. I also do some freelance recording work for planning applications, and do a lot of lecturing for assorted local groups and for NADFAS. Member of the West Gallery Music Association.
