[Magdalen] Saint Michael and All Angels.

[Dorothy Collman]

The house I lived in back in the 70’s in Watford (England) was named St. Michaels. I often wondered why it was given that name. When we moved back here I brought the name plate with me. I have recently considered displaying it on the front of my new house bought at the end of September 2005.
