Having fed about 100 faces in the last few days c/o the joint 90th birthdays, I felt an indulgence was allowed and took my mother and aunt to visit Romney churches as a recce. Delightful, mainly because said edifices escaped the wrath of the Victorians and Vatican 2. Despite not being of that generation and both schoolmistresses and therefore prone to correct English, on walking into Old Romney, both squealed 'WOW!'. And WOW it certainly is, with beautiful old box pews, an idiosyncratic layout, a chancel wall which virtually obliterates sight of the sanctuary from the parishioners - but just wonderful! This just begs to be part of the Piper film.

Romney Recce
