I've been looking but nothing so far :( Also, it's taken from the back and most

of the ones I saw are taken from the front. What makes you think it is Sneaton?

It looks quitesmall. Could it possibly be a chapel of rest and not a church.

It has a bell tower which may be earlier than the rest of the church, and is almost separate, this feature is often noted and may help.

I've tried to find it, no joy. I did find a few which were/ are similar in style so I tried to research other buildings by the same architects. The first was Edward Buckton Lamb, he was labelled the rogue architect because he believed in the true gothic revivalist style. St Stephens church in Blubberhouses is very similar. St Stephens church in Aldwark has a very similar tower. The other architect is William Butterfield. His tower in Wykeham is similar in style.

Hope this is of some help,

Craig

I don't think it is Sneaton, Yorkshire - the tower is quite different!

That's what I thought Wiggy and that's why I asked the OP why he thought

Sneaton. I don't think it is but I've been wrong before ;D ;D ;D ;D
