Click the thumbnail to view.	Photo Description : Saint Werburghs church view 1, Derby, Derbyshire Image Reference No. : DP-TAN-SWC-53 Details : This view is of St Werburghs church on the Wardwick. Things to look for : It was not possible to take Photo B from the exact place as there was a bus shelter in the way so the view was too restricted, So I have moved to the right about 3 foot.
