This was my family's home for 22 years, any historical info about the house and church most welcome!

This belonged to my brother John Winters and his family would be grateful for any pictures both inside and out also any history attached to it.

Yes, thanks, we know Ron and his family. Ron, hope it’ll be ok to visit you and dear Julie. Such fond memories of Wendy visiting when I was little, and some great nights when we were older. Jeremy remembers your rally to Great Yarmouth with great affection (he’s not on social media but likes to be shown).
I’ll be up next year, the most beautiful place on earth in my opinion. Wish I’d taken it less for granted but the garden and views were stunning and memories still strong. We’ve lots of photos stashed away but would love to know more about the history, when it stopped being a church, and how I was lucky enough to have a full grown sycamore tree outside my bedroom window that we could actually climb!
Best wishes, Anna

Has anything been written about the Congregational Church? It appears that Alexander W Groundwater (from Orphir, my x 2 great uncle) was minister here, leaving sometime in 1910.
