Where is the church in these images?

It's the great big stone building just behind the Bride and Groom.

National scandal that this isn’t top comment

Of course it is.

And everything was better when I were a lad, and everything's terrible now.

In the first photo, the couple are in a doorway - the church is behind them. In the second photo the church is centre of the photo. Middle of the photo running top to bottom.

[-]

CanidPsychopomp@reddit

In the first picture it's behind the nun

[-]

aenimiac@reddit

I think it might be St Mary's in Badwell Ash

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Vb8nY8YC2hUC65Je7

The entrance and tower both seem to match

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t say “ it’s the building behind the 2 people 👍”

[-]

Front_Society1353@reddit

It looks very similar St Peter and St Paul's Church in Lavenham?

[-]

General-Still-8136@reddit

Ai says

St John the Baptist Church in Badingham, Suffolk.

Looks very similar from a quick mobile comparison

[-]

Prior_Instruction410@reddit (OP)

Thank you. The images fit perfectly, and Badwell Ash makes sense because it's near where we lived. Now to find out who was getting married.

[-]

Old_Pomegranate_822@reddit

If you have a date - or even a short window - the church should have its own marriage registry, possibly now transferred to the local council.

[-]

Prior_Instruction410@reddit (OP)

Actually, just before this wedding, there's some footage of Mann that my brother shot when he went there for the TT races. I hope he can remember the year he went there, because that will give us the date of the wedding

[-]

WhatTheFlup@reddit

Your brother shot him?

Why, what did he do?

[-]

Prior_Instruction410@reddit (OP)

Not him, it. And that footage had it coming. Sooner or later someone was going to shoot it

[-]

BugAdministrative683@reddit

Uncle Kevin and Aunty Carol.

[-]

Splodge89@reddit

I think it’s a law in the UK to have an Aunty Carol. I have two!

[-]

SuspiciouslyMoist@reddit

Good luck with that. I was going through some old photos with my Dad.

"Oh, it's a wedding. Who is it? Oh, I think that's Bob and Carol."

"Was that in the church in Tonbridge? I think so. I didn't go to that wedding, I wonder who took the photos."

"No, I definitely wasn't there."

"Oh, it's a photo of me."

[-]

Prior_Instruction410@reddit (OP)

I have now identified the bride as Gail Tilsley, and her mother as Penelope Keith. The 1970s fashions make everyone look like actresses from that era!

[-]

MMSTINGRAY@reddit

Yeah when I found that one I came to the same conclusion, pretty sure you're right.

Where is the church in these images?

Right in the middle, taking up most of the image. I’m surprised you can’t see it.

It's St Mary's Church, Kersey

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Church,_Kersey

[-]

BugAdministrative683@reddit

I don't think it is it. It's different.

[-]

continentaldreams@reddit

Check out the second link - it matches the photo perfectly

[-]

BugAdministrative683@reddit

It doesn't. In the still from the video, immediately above the doorway, there are two horizontal lines. There aren't on the linked photo.

[-]

Ok_Interaction3016@reddit

The video is from the 70’s lets not forget. The recent images are presumably just that.

Check the pyramid grave(?) near the entrance on the 70’s and more recent images.

[-]

continentaldreams@reddit

Ooh you're right. It's pretty close though!

[-]

BugAdministrative683@reddit

Right sort of style, right part of the world...

[-]

MMSTINGRAY@reddit

Tower is differente and different features. Similar style though.

I think it's this one

https://www.badwellashheritage.co.uk/badwell-ash-history/st-marys-church-badwell-ash/

[-]

NotAProperAccount3@reddit

Yes, even down to the grave stones, this looks spot on! Well done!

[-]

Prior_Instruction410@reddit (OP)

I thought so initially, but the tower is wrong, and the details around the door don't quite match. It looks like they were working from the same design book though.

[-]

continentaldreams@reddit

Yeah another user pointed that out. It's remarkably similar!

[-]

Prestigious-Salt-245@reddit

Hundreds of churches are remarkably similar

[-]

continentaldreams@reddit

Thanks captain obvious!

[-]

DrMaxMonkey@reddit

I thought this was St Peter's in Henley, Suffolk I can see you've been given the correct answer now - man there are lot of similar looking churches.

[-]

devil_toad@reddit

Ok, so in the first one, it's occupying the top 4/5s of the image. In the second, its in the centre half.

[-]

abstract_groove@reddit

I can’t help with the location but that photo would make a brilliant cover for an acid folk album.

[-]

Sea_Pomegranate8229@reddit

It's the big grey thing behind the bride and groom.

[-]

What_A_Helmet@reddit

Could be st Margaret's in Ipswich I used to live there. Looks identical. The tower is directly above the entrance.

[-]

MMSTINGRAY@reddit

Pretty sure it's this one. Has nearly all the features from both photos

https://www.badwellashheritage.co.uk/badwell-ash-history/st-marys-church-badwell-ash/

[-]

TyphoidMurphy@reddit

Even that toblerone shaped gravestone is the same as OP's picture. Best chance yet.

[-]

Itchy-Armpits@reddit

Right in the middle

[-]

Imhonestlynotawierdo@reddit

It's the church in Pulham in norfolk you can see the fairly unique windows in the picture here

[-]

MMSTINGRAY@reddit

No, people are just getting similar ones.

I'm pretty sure it's this one

https://www.badwellashheritage.co.uk/badwell-ash-history/st-marys-church-badwell-ash/

It has actual similar features rather than just similar at a glance

[-]

quiet_control909@reddit

The church entrance is completely different. The one in the film has a series of vertical lines filled with what looks like flintwork. The one in your image doesn't have that at all.

[-]

Imhonestlynotawierdo@reddit

There was significant restoration work to the church including repointing and replastering but I think youre probably right

[-]

Optimal-Room-8586@reddit

I don't think this is correct.

In the OP's photo you can see a dark rectangular shape directly above the door achway, presumably a window of some sort. This is missing the Pulham photo.

Also, OP's photo has two large windows on the front of the porch, which are entirely absent in the Pulham one.

[-]

BugAdministrative683@reddit

It's not this either. Look at the shields immediately above the doorway, they're not there in the film still.

[-]

Gone_For_Lunch@reddit

The window on the tower is different. As are the crenellations at the top.

[-]

imperfect_and_tense@reddit

These bits aren't the same.

[-]

palmerama@reddit

The flint is very Norfolk

[-]

Imhonestlynotawierdo@reddit

and the same structures on the bell tower in the second picture

[-]

Lost_Ad1589@reddit

In the first image, it's directly behind the bride and groom

[-]

grubbygromit@reddit

https://maps.app.goo.gl/DmyC88ov8WJht4XS9 I think this is it.

[-]

MMSTINGRAY@reddit

Hijacking top comment because I'm pretty sure it's actually this one

https://www.badwellashheritage.co.uk/badwell-ash-history/st-marys-church-badwell-ash/

[-]

quiet_control909@reddit

It's close. But the window in the bell tower is a different design, and there isn't a series of smaller windows above the main ones in the main body of the church. There are also square designs either side of the doorway in your one, but not in OPs film.

Really close in terms of style though.
