  • Photographs: ACTIONED Collingham, Nottinghamshire

    Now completed

    Hi all

    Just wondering if anyone could take a photo or two inside St John The Baptist Church at Collngham for me please?

    I have a couple of rellies buried inside the church, Thomas and Grace Blagg (nee Goulson).

    Is anyone able to take a couple of pics of the church interior/wall plaques etc that may be there at all?

    Thanks

          Hi Glen
          We were thinking of going for a drive on Tuesday and I was planning to ask hubby when he gets home tonight (he's out all day) if he would mind taking me to South Collingham to photograph the inside of the church for you. However, many churches these days are locked most of the week so I have tried googling for someone to e-mail, to find out beforehand whether or when it would be open. Unfortunately I can't find a single reference for an e-mail address that might cover this parish at all Any suggestions? As, although it's not a million miles away (only about 35) it is a good hours drive as it's cross country, so a long way to go if it's closed when we get there :D

            Just to let you know Glen that after a few phone calls I have arranged for the church warden to meet us there to let us in tomorrow.
            Will do what I can to find your ancestors.

              Mission accomplished Glen :D (though it nearly wasn’t).
              The Church Warden arrived and opened the church for us and all three of us searched high and lo but we couldn’t find a plaque of your rellies anywhere. She even searched through the records but unfortunately they only went back to the early 1900. Not liking to hold her up any longer I took a few hurried shots inside of the aisle, altar and chancel and one of the font, in case your ancestors had been married or christened there. We thanked her and after she left we decided to check the very large churchyard, in case they weren’t inside but out. Hubby did two large areas and I did the other two but without success. Just as we were about to give up and go back through the gates hubby said “What about that smaller area in front of the church”. I told him that all the graves there were so old that you couldn’t read them and our feet were getting wet in the long grass ;). However, luckily we decided to have a last look and lo and behold, right in the far corner, there they were, 3 identical graves of the Blagg family. We took photographs of them but in case you couldn’t see the detail I took notes (see below).

              Would you let me know please whether you want them posting here or whether you would prefer to give me your e-mail address so that I can send them full size. Usually when I take photos for other people I try to improve them but as I know that you are far better at that than I am I assume you would rather I sent them raw? Please don’t expect them to be anywhere near your standard but unless you want to send your Nikon down :D I’ve done my best.
              p.s. I can thoroughly recommend the Kings Head at South Collingham. They do a delicious meal ;)

              Grave 1
              In loving memory of Thomas Blagg of Langford – Formerly of Car Colston – Who died August 28th 1876 aged 74 years.
              Also of Sarah, the daughter of the above, who died July 20th 1882 aged 32 years.
              Also of Grace, his wife, who died March 15th 1898 aged 85 years.

              Grave 2

              In loving memory of Grace, daughter of Thomas and Grace Blagg, who died January 26th 1883 aged 38 years.
              Also of Mary, eldest daughter of Thomas and Grace Blagg who died at Car Colston May 9th 1932 aged 98 years.
              Also of their sister Emily Blagg who died November 24th 1948 aged 93 years.

              Grave 3 (assumed they would also be yours in some way)

              In memory of Francis Blagg of Danethorpe who died March 12th 1919 aged 27 years.
              Also of Mary Blagg, mother of the above and beloved wife of Francis Blagg, who died April 28th 1932 aged 84 years.
              Also of Francis Blagg who died December 22nd 1935 aged 92 years.

                  The previous generation were connected to Car Colston and the Collingham stuff came about because of a plaque at Car Colston Church.

                    You're welcome Glen I just sent you the PM in case you had forgotten about your request.

                    It sounds as though all the plaques are in Car Colston. I hope what we found proves useful.

                    Will e-mail the photos.
                    1st photo sent. Please let me know if you don't receive it ok as I just remembered that for some reason I couldn't send attachments last week.
