Helping a friend today wander through the parish records we got to wondering how churches in England got their name. Why is this church St. Peters and that one St. Mary the Virgin and other there is All Saints. Is there a logic to the naming of the churches or has the logic been lost in time? I suspect some were named a thousand years ago.
