which Saint

[Footbath]

To which Saint was the old Edvin Loach Church originally dedicated

[Octavius]

The charter of Germanus de Loges in the second half of the twelfth century reveals that the church, which has always been known as St. Mary's, was originally dedicated to St. Giles. Close to the church, not much more than an acre in size, is an orchard belonging to the Parochial Council with the remains of a cottage once occupied by the parish clerk, long known as St. Giles' Acre.

[Tatty Rollox]
