Bag Enderby in Lincolnshire also has a very old church that is dedicated to St Margaret, with stonework of Spilsby sandstone used in part of its construction.

Thank you Ivo for the table of postings. I am pleased that your idea in launching this thread has reached fruition with so many postings on its first anniversary, as I well remember (more than most) the reasons why you created this quiz in the first place, but I am astonished to find the number of my postings upon it to have been so many.
