THE EARLY DAYS OF EAST HOVE

ST JOHNS CHURCH - About 1870. As far as I know this is the only photograph to show the church without its tower. When I enquired in 1971 not even the Church authorities knew that this church had been built without a tower, and they assumed that it had been there from the start. Built in 1852/3 and consecrated on 24 June 1854 it remained as seen until 1872. In that year the tower was erected and the clock installed on 29 June that year.
