I'm trying to find the name of a small Church in Newton near Wisbech, that a few of my relatives are buried. Caroline Heather married a Merrell, and her sister Louise Heather who married a Watts. I think both of the grave stones have these surnames: Merrell and Watts. Anyone know where I can find a photo of the Church and perhaps the graves too ?? Not sure how many small Churches are in Newton, but hope not too many.

The parish church of St. James is a medieval structure with a tower. Formerly dedicated to St Katherine, the church was built in the 12th century and widened in the 14th century.

I hope this is the one RamblingRose. :-)
