Sttaw,
                      You are a bugger!! The church has been de-consecrated or whatever you call it, and I have full planning permission to convert it into a house. There will be NO services in the building, as we would be very likely to be struck by lightening if we tried it!
                      My only real problem is what to do with the gravestones???? I had a good nosy around them all last night, and the last burial was in 1782, so I should be OK to remove them. The property search has been fascinating though, according to the records there has been a church on this site in one form of another since the 11th century.
                      Flamenco, the true path!!
