The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Rector

Rectors of this Wiltshire church come and go, but this notice endureth. It was there in Canon Barkwell's time and it may even predate his incumbency. Canon W H Barkwell (1893-1984) was Rector of Christian Malford from 1951 to 1960, moving subsequently to Wigtoft, Lincolnshire, as parish priest. Whilst serving in Christian Malford, his wife Mabel, died, and is buried in the churchyard with a simple stone bearing only her initials, 'MSB'. Footnote: Visiting this church during August, 2022, I noticed with a twinge of sadness that the notice was no longer displayed in the porch. All things must pass, I suppose. Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs and a 50mm Nikkor f/1.8 AI lens.
