The nearest primary school is St Peter's, just behind Agnes Stewart.Hadn't realised that the church had been there until relatively recently. just looked on leodis and hey presto! there it is,st marys on mabgate.well done rikj! heres one wiggy.St Marys became the Parish Church for a while in the 1830s when St Peters was being rebuilt.A lot of my family were baptised/married/buried there and i remember it as a young un.All gone now.Along with St Pats (where i also have a lot of family connections)Times move on,and such places fall by the wayside,but only in conjunction with the communities they once served.

Please help me with the small Chapel or whatever it was on the left hand side after you pass Seacroft Grange going up towards the Windmill - I have seen it and now can't find it?

I seem to remember this was the Church that featured in one of the "Beiderbeck" series - the one where the guys were selling goods of dubious origins and storing them in the crypt of a church.

I think this is becoming a mutual obsession! I've searched every paper resource I have but to no avail - nothing (strangely, not even farm buildings) is shown between the Grange site and the old Coal Road/York Road junction.It is times like this when you have another reason to wish long gone Grandparents and other relatives, residents of the old village, were still with us!

Did you see this one which electricaldave posted in the other thread?http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... AY=FULLThe Green is shown with the church behind and The Grange in front. The road is the old junction of North Parkway and the buildings in the foreground are I think, the last ones before reaching the Ring Road/Coal Road junction.

There's a partical view of it on Leodis here:http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... 61317080It was big and black and always impressed me when I passed it. Whilst looking into my family history a while ago i found out my great grandad and grandma got married there. They used to live on the other side of meadow lane in a yard!!
