Carperter, Old Bond/St. February 1. 1811.Addington is a district of south London, England, located in the London Borough of Croydon. It is situated 11.1 miles (18 km) south south-east of Charing Cross. Northamptonshire is a county in the East Midlands region of England. Northamptonshire lies in the heart of England and is landlocked between eight other ceremonial counties: Warwickshire to the west, Leicestershire and Rutland to the north, Cambridgeshire to the east, Bedfordshire to the south-east, Buckinghamshire to the south, Oxfordshire to the south-west and Lincolnshire to the north-east – England's shortest county boundary at 19 metres (21 yd). The church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin Church, built in 1080, in Addington village was once the only church when it was the centre of a larger parish then incorporating Shirley. Now it has been reduced cover Addington village, Fieldway part of the New Addington estate and Forestdale. It has an 11th-century chancel and windows. The south aisle, built in the early 13th century, is narrow as it once had a thatched roof, hence its falling roofline. The belltower assumed its current form in 1876. The crypt is now inaccessible, but the church is the burial place of a Lord Mayor of the City of London, the armigerous Leigh family who were Lords of the manor and five of the six Archbishops of Canterbury who spent time at their residence nearby Addington Palace. There is also a memorial to the Archbishops in the graveyard.Approx. image size 8, 7 x 6, 2/21, 2 x 13 cm.
