St John's Church and Gentle Street

Re-built in Victorian times, St John's Church stands in a wonderfully atmospheric graveyard with the lovely Gentle Street passing by.

Here's a view of Gentle Street from the top of the hill. Note the cobbles and the charming Georgian houses on either side:

Halfway down the hill on the left there is an impressive house, formerly the headquarters for organisations like the British Legion. Now sadly boarded up, this property would make an imposing company headquarters: In 2005 this property was redeveloped and a new row or houses was built nearby. The house itself has now been re-furbished. New photo to follow as soon as I can find the time to get down town with the camera!

The graveyard with its well-kept lawns and carved statues giving a timeless air of peace and tranquility: UNfortunately these charming angel figures have been removed due to vandal activity. This picture remains here to show what people are missing due to the stupidity of a few.

The intricate carving on these tombs, depicting Christ's crucifixion, is worth a closer look:
