Thanks to Sally Turner for scanning the magazine pages.
The thumbnail picture shows St Mary's Church in around 1900 from a postcard with the incorrect caption that it is St Margaret's Church, an error which may have arisen because of St Margaret's Hospital in Pilton. Thanks to Shaun Winfield for the postcard.
