St Peter, Peterstow, Herefordshire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
The first official record of the church at Peterstow (then known as Llanbedr) is a dedication of the church by Herwald, Bishop of Llandaff in 1066 but it is believed that a church had existed on this site since 995. In the 12th Century the original Saxon church was replaced by a larger, Norman Church. The present appearance of the building is due to the "great restoration" in the 1860s, under the rector, Dr John Jebb with Sir George Gilbert Scott as architect. The re-opening was on 2 July 1866
Aged 100 and finally reunited with her brother. It should be "separation" on the plaque.
