St Mary and St Helen (Neston)
St Mary and St Helen (Neston) submitted by TimPrevett : St Helen's and St Mary's at Neston - definitely closed. No sign up saying when it might be open aside from services, or whom to contact to look inside. Given it's a major part of Neston's historic town trail, it's a winner of a churches' tourism award, and there's even a sign on the door saying "visitors welcome", you'd expect something to help you visit the historic church's interior. No - not op... (Vote or comment on this photo)

These were front page news for the Neston News this last week, I am told. The online version shows nothing, though! If you can help trace the story down, please get in touch!
