I think Emmanuel Church was completed in 1877


Stanford's map of c. 1862 might help: http://www.motco.com/map/81006/19.asp?page=19


Seems like the view is uphill i.e. facing south east. Could it be something to do with the cemetry or maybe Friern Manor?


What are the poles / structures in the centre?


Mike

Guessing,

It might be Dawson's Hill, it places the Church of St Peter at the right angle, the Riflemen are firing into the Ranges slightly to the left, the pole on the hilltop ( highest point ) will be have been used for Semaphore Signelling ( Messages sent with Flags ) Nearby would be the Fire Beacon.

The Maquee is of the First Surrey Rifles.

It does appere that the Church was built long before the houses were built and occupied by a future congregation.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
