Method: How to be church detectives
When you get to your local church or monastery, these are the things you need to take note of:• The name of the saint the church is dedicated
to.• The age of the church – what is the oldest
dated monument you can find in the building?• Is there a date on the sign or over the door?

Consider
• How old is the building? • Did the town grow up around the church or
was the church built when the town was already established?
• Has anything of note happened to the church? • Has anyone famous been connected to the
church or the parish history?
