SU9644 : From Westbrook to Sainsbury's (11)
taken 4 years ago, near to Godalming, Surrey, England
Which is what my sister insists young people call Godalming. From Westbrook Cottages we walked down Westbrook Lane, past Meath Home, through Vicarage Walk, round by the parish church, along the river path in Phillips Memorial Park, into Woolsack Way and back to Sainsbury's
When I was a lad, the Diocese sold the vicarage in my home town to a hospital trust. we were all informed that he would be moving to a new housing estate. Apparently, he balked at this and a suitably grand house was bought for him. All over the country many former ecclesiastical homes in tiny villages have been sold. The incumbent will have to live somewhere but will probably have multiple parishes to supervise. I wonder what Noel Streatfeild would make of that...
