Predecessor churches

Could the original location of the various churches (though I know you intend to write up St Augustine's at some point) be mentioned? Circeus (talk) 16:54, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added St Saviour's location on Ditchling Road. Is there any more info you think would be useful? (Perhaps more specific info about exactly where St A and St S were on their respective roads, as they are quite long roads?) Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 18:05, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had been under the impression that St Peter's had been destroyed. Mentioning a road crossing for St Saviour would probably do the trick. Roughwood describe a picture as taken from "Round Hill Road", but I have no idea how useful that is. It might be accurate to mention a gate remains too (in this case, roughwood definitely is a source IMHO :p). Circeus (talk) 22:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A combination of Roughwood and a street atlas helped me pinpoint it. Conveniently, the block of flats that replaced it is called "St Saviour's Court"! Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 09:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Argh. Stupid G!Maps refuses to show the name for Round Hill Road... (And what's it with England and naming god knows how many close-by street with almost identical names??) Circeus (talk) 15:26, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

St Augustine's is done now :) Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 21:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
