    3. As I do from time to time I did a search for Stowell items on Ebay. Three items came up for Stowell Memorial Church. Further research showed it to located in Salford, England which is near Manchester. Salford Stowell Memorial Church EP was an Ecclesiastical Parish in the county of Lancashire and was created in 1871. A further blurb explaining what an Ecclesiastical Parish was: "Ecclesiastical parishes originated in the Medieval period, when the tithe or teind (a proportion of the annual produce or income) was paid by the parish inhabitants to support the Church. These units were distinguished from the Civil Parishes after 1597 with the passing of the first Poor Relief Act. This Act also led to many subordinate areas, such as chapelries, being raised to parochial rank and the creation of many new parishes." More about the actual church and for whom it seems the church was named: http://www.mbbcanal.demon.co.uk/trail/salford/christch/christchurch.html Tim Stowell Chattanooga, TN Give me ambiguity or give me something else
