st wwi?

Anyone help with this please?

We continue west (from Garlick Hill) to a third church (???) - one of Wren's last in the city of London. Its bells come from a village (Domesday's Aweneburi) far to the northwest. Legend says that one sounds whenever a village rector dies - yet nobody pulls the bell rope.

Nowhere can I find Aweneburi far to the northwest of London but it may have a St Bride's Fleet St connection..

Many thanks for any help. (Thinks: am I the only bloke that does ST WWI? puzzles!)

Hi Leo. Aweneburi is Avenbury in Herefordshire. Hope this helps.

No, you're not the only one otherwise you or I might have won it by now! There has been a lot of argument over the last 2 months about people posting the complete answer and spoiling it for others (not good enough to say don't look - some of us like to help by giving clues to get to the answer). However, I haven't had time to look at this week's - maybe people have found it easy this week?

Best of luck with it.

Very many thanks Flam. will investigate further. I wrote to St Bride's in Fleet street in 2003 and ... no answer was the stern reply.

Thanks also to Broadshoulders! As a non UK resident I am not allowed to compete but this quiz is a great way of keeping in touch with the Old Country. But I find most fun is getting All the clues sorted out -not just the main two competition questions - whichthis week were very easy I thought.

Cheers agin and many thanks to you both. LM

Do you want the name of this church Leo ? I dare not post it in case I spoil it for others but can either tell you or give you some clues.I have found it in my book about Wren's Churches.

Aha, shaney also joining in with great help. Thanks a lot every one. I now have it - it's St Andrew by the Wardrobe in EC4 -where the Bard used to go from his Blackfriars Theatre. How about that then - one Sunday morning in 1600, seeing Shakespeare coming out of the Wardrobe!

Thanks again and all the bery vest.
