BERE REGIS CHURCH in the 1860s |
Probably taken by J.W. Boswell, the village photographer in the 1860s, it shows the church before the restoration in 1875. The two biggest differences before and after restoration are the tops of the two east-facing windows in this view. The south aisle has a square-top window and the chancel window has vertical tracery. Compare this with the next picture taken after 1875. Meanwhile in the right foreground are the out-buildings at the rear of the village brewery in operation from the mid-19th Century, when a gallon of beer would cost one shilling.
