Hi, I will hopefully be able to help with some of Oxfordshire, I have noticed that you have Wallingford under Berkshire but it is actually in Oxfordshire. Is that something to do with boundary changes?

That will be great if you can help, thanks Tessie

Yes, it is based on the historic county bounderies, so you will find a few that don't appear to be in the correct modern day one.

Once you've collected your photographs they can be posted on this thread http://www.familytreeforum.com/engla...to-thread.html using the website Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

Alternatively, you can always just email them to me. If you would like my email address then please send me a personal message through the site.

Many thanks!

Are people aware of the Geograph site. You will find photographs of many churches in the UK there which can all be used under a Creative Commons Licence, so no copyright worries.

[Velma Dinkley]

Unfortunately they cannot be used as the photographs submitted by members must be ones they've taken themselves, even though the member agrees to their use under the GFDL when uploading them.

[Blackberry]

I wasn't suggesting reproducing them on this site, merely that it is a useful source for people who want a photo of a church. The link could be added for information, that's all.

[Velma Dinkley]

Thanks for that

The The Wiki - Family Tree Forum's Reference Library - Family Tree Forum is the best place for a link like that. I'll have a look if it's already there, and if not will get it added.

[Blackberry]

It is there, but not with reference to churches, so it might be worth pointing that up as the name "geograph" suggests it's landscape-based. In fact it includes all sorts of buildings.

[Velma Dinkley]

Thanks for looking for that, I'll see what I can do...
