Have been delving around and I agree that it looks like St Giles Stoke Poges pre 1900?. I read that the ivy had to be taken down as it was damaging the structure. Also the spire was removed in 1924? AS I have not seen it in reality, is it still as pretty looking now?? A beautiful looking church. Have been delving around and I agree that it looks like St Giles Stoke Poges pre 1900?.

The church's website has a selection of old photos - I don't think they include this one, but there are some similar ones. Wouldn't it be nice if all churches had a similar "history" section on their sites? http://www.stokepogeschurch.org/history/st-giles-photos/ Yes, definitely St Giles, Stoke Poges.
