The Birthplace of James E. Talmage

James E. Talmage
This is the birth place of James E. Talmage. He was an LDS church apostle and one of our most beloved authors and scholars.  The town is called Hungerford England. We drove through the town for a few minutes. Nothing on the Internet indicates the exact address so we just drove around a looked at the place. It was really fun and I felt a connection to one of the greats.  Thanks Elder Talmage for your contribution to so many LDS students.

Not far from Hungerford we found this old church. It has been there for a long time and would have been standing at the time James E. Talmage was born in 1862. I love how old thing in the UK are and how the dots of history can be connected there.  I wonder if I have any ancestors in this old cemetery? It is possible.  


What an awesome drive through the English countryside.
