The website
A Church Near You has just launched a very interesting new feature
called "Parish Finder". This allows visitors to find out not only which is their
nearest church but actually which parish they live in. This is very useful for
people who want to get married.
The visitor puts their postcode into the search box and are then asked to indicate,
by clicking, where
on the map they live.
The result:
- A map is drawn with both the selected location
and the parish boundary marked.
- The page indicates which parish this is in.
- Suggestions of nearest churches and
their approximate distance and direction from the visitor's location are
offered.
- Links to the A Church Near You page for each church on the map
are also displayed so the visitor
can find out more.
To use the parish finder click here
(The box where you enter your postcode is located near the bottom of the page)
