St Oswald, not a church!

St Peter

I did my first ride for well over two months yesterday. Looking forward to better times.

But I did manage 66 miles and nabbed four saints' names. Around here I seems to be the impossible letter, but K is relatively easy.

Back in December I reached G. After a bit of searching I found a good H:

There's a Catholic church in the middle of Stroud called Church of the Immaculate Conception, but on balance I didn't think it was worth fighting my over there. So my next offering is St John the Evangelist at Slimbridge. Not quite so easy here to get all the details in shot:

With my legs feeling rather sorry for themselves it was tempting to take the easy way home, but I stuck the plan and picked up the next two on the way back into Gloucester. Firstly, St Katharine's, Matson:

And finally St Lawrence, Barnwood:

I'm going a bit out of order here I have found a K, R and a S (I & Q being impossible), but K & R require long rides,so best saved for a warmer day

Another not a church (although it's my kind of church ) St Thomas

 

[Willd]

St Simon & Jude (for a bonus point) at Earl Shilton. It's actually a picture of the vicarage, actual church is out of shot 😄

 

[Willd]

U and V are both pretty impossible, so on to W (GP Surgery, rather than a very basic looking church)

I found a St Ignatius, bit out of your way, I would suspect, it is in Sunderland , currently stuck on "K"

Also a St Ignatius near Bridport.

Thanks for reviving this. Time I got back to work on the challenge!

Here's my J - must be the easiest letter in contrast to village names. Now K is a real puzzle.

Just tried google maps to see where the nearest Saint Quentin location might be and it turns out there’s a Saint Quentin Walk only a few roads away from me.

If it helps I can take my bike there and find a road sign to photograph.

You wait ages for a "V" and two come along at once

Kettering has 40 streets named after saints. No I, Q, U, X, Y or Z though
