Entering the primary place name brings up that place, plus churches within 3 miles. At this stage you can change the number of miles and search again. * Distances are approximate and not all churches are included in the database. Reasons are explained. Using Brockworth as the base I expanded the search to 30 miles (see Brailes) and again to 40 miles (see Banbury). Miles ~ 0 Church of England, Brockworth [Gloucestershire] ~ 29ENE Church of England, Brailes, Warwickshire ~ 36ENE Church of England, Drayton (Banbury), Oxfordshire ~ 38ENE Church of England, Banbury, Oxfordshire Here's another feature of the GENUKI site. Clicking on "Church of England" links to a page with three map sites. Clicking on an underlined place name links to a GENUKI page offering various kinds of information about that place. For example GENUKI's Brockworth page http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/Brockworth includes a link to "Research Sources for the parish of St George, Brockworth" and much more. (Wish I had ancestors there!)
