| FLAXLEY ST MARY was erected in 1856, and consists of nave, chancel, north aisle, and porch, with a tower surmounted by a spire. However there was a chapel before the abbey gate in 1253 and in 1695 there was a church house next to the Abbey.
None of this is actually significant to the Burgums because all the Burgum parish register entries in Flaxley (see below) were between 1724 and 1760, so long before the construction of Flaxley St Mary in 1856. I continue to search for information on the chapel, and possibly the church, that preceded the existing church but, as yet, I have found little, except that the location may have not have been on the present site. |
