Hi Tony,
Yes, that's correct and it was Gilbert that told me about it. I worked with
him taking the photographs for an updated church guide many years ago.
He was a lovely man - told me all sorts of things about the church. Did you
know that if you stand under the tower and look towards the altar you will
see that there is a kink in the aisle? Apparently the early church around
the altar was built on a slightly incorrect alignment which hey "corrected"
when the building was extended.
It's a bit difficult to see now that they've built the wretched "pavilions"
in the aisle though!

Thanks everyone-
I think everything is corrected now. Interesting about the arch, Chris. I
found online 'The Story Of St. Andrew's Parish Church At Farnham In Surrey
(updated)' by Gilbert Jackman. It tells of the large archway that leads to
the Lady Chapel, which `I presume that this is what we are talking about:
"Towards the end of the 15th century the parishioners expressed
the wish for a curate to help their Vicar with his work in this
large parish, and they obtained a licence from King Henry VII, dated 16
February 1487, to endow a perpetual chantry of one Chaplain to
celebrate at the altar of the Blessed Mary in the north side of
Farnham Church. Enough money, and lands from which rents would be payable,
were soon available to set up the chantry, with the first Lady Chapel built
on to the north-west of the north aisle having a large opening through the
wall into it. This large archway, now filled in, can be seen clearly both
inside and outside the church."
And
"1758 - Former Lady Chapel (used since the Reformation as a school)
demolished."
Best Wishes
Tony

Names are right but "speaks at St Joan's Hall"
Doug but I know what he was on about - It is right exactly as written.
Farnham Grammar School started in a now demolished transept at St Andrew's
Church. When it was demolished the arch was filled in and is still visible
near to Cobbett's grave in the churchyard (funnily enough I was looking at
it today when waiting for the peregrine). Some of the stone from the
demolition was given to new daughter churches as they were established -
there is a piece in one of the aisle walls of Badshot Lea Curch. A timber
beam was also kept and used in the "new" FGS in Morley Road (not the bit
built in the '60s, the original building on that site.

Nearly team time and needing help. please. A bevy of three for the
collective to ponder:
1. Brian Williams "marine architect"? - with model ship
2. Dr Kenneth's Slack of Christian Aid "years"? at St James' Hall [it
don't sound right] - With "Sister Graham"`? [that bit sounds more right]
3. This last one looks like it the subject got mixed up with the
descriptions on the other page somehow (arch and grammar school) - but I
can't see how:
Gingerbread Group cake stall in South Street
Group of 4
Saint Andrews Church filled in archway
Old Grammar School
Farnham OGGS reunion
Group
May have to leave as is for now but believe the Old Grammar School and OGGS
must surely got together?
Thanks
Tony
