I'm sure that if you develop such a set of web pages GENUKI would be
pleased to provide links to them - something that would be greatly
aided if you organised your pages according to countries and ancient
parishes in the way that we organise GENUKI.

I'm aware of several sites that provides lots of photographs of
churches, most notably Richard's Church Albums, at
http://www.thirdman.ukhq.co.uk/, whose two hundred or so Devon
photographs I link to from my respective GENUKI/Devon parish pages.
However a comprehensive set of pages of links, to church photographs
on various sites, would be useful.

I'm cc'ing this to Phil Stringer, my GENUKI colleague, since it might
be advantageous to set up a collaboration between your and Phil's
activities on a church database.

Cheers
