Snow Comes to the Priory

When a sudden blast of winter gripped most of the country and covered the land in snow, James Pearson was out with his camera and managed to take some superb views of the Priory and Priory Church in these wintry conditions.

An Aerial Photo of the Priory Church

Does anyone know who took this aerial photograph ?

This framed aerial photograph of the ruins has been hanging on the North Aisle wall of the Priory Church for many a long year. No one seems to know when it was taken or who took the photograph. It would have been taken from an aircraft and is perhaps pre-war or just after the 1939-1945 war. Can anyone give us more information?
