Bicton Woodland Railway - As photographed in the seventies

St Mary's Church

Here are some postcard images of St Mary's Church on the grounds of Bicton Gardens. This grade II listed building replaces the original medieval church who's ruins (as seen in the fifth picture) can be found along side. The church was commissioned by Lady Rolle, as a monument to her husband. It was consecrated in 1850 and designed by architect J. Hayward.

Memorabilia - Mug and Bookmark

Lets take a look at some of the items that were available from the gift shop. The mug was purchased in the early 1990's, though judging from the logo and vintage car (from Bicton Hall of Transport) that can be seen, it is likely that it was old stock and actually originates from the late 70's or early 80's. The bookmark is from the late 70's and features scenes from the woodland railway - kept in such neat condition throughout my childhood. Maybe a sign that I didn't read all that much back then.
