All saints church Roffey

One of the two churches Mr U&L and I could have used for our wedding. My childhood home was in the parish of Roffey, and we had to have the banns read here, but we chose to break with family tradition and marry in the larger Horsham parish church. My Mum and Dad married here on 12 th March 1955 and her mother before her .., but for me it held far too many memories of family funerals ( at least 7 or 8 ) and it feels a dark unhappy place which smells mostly of incense. The churchyard is opposite, and that feels oddly forsaken too, which is also sad as it is the final resting place of at least 15 late family members, and is the place I promised Mum I would inter the other half of her ashes with her Mum who died when she was just 4.
