-

-
Tulsa, “One of the world’s most beautiful Churches” (Oklahoma)
Sometimes captions are useful, and sometimes not, which is the case here. We’ll repeat it verbatim: “One of the world’s most beautiful Churches, located at 13 Boston Ave., Tulsa, Okla.” We were curious, so did the search, and can tell you that it’s the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, and it’s address is actually 1301 S.

-
Brussels, St-Gudule-church (Belgium)
The partial postmark on this heavily aged card gives the date/time of mailing as “8.54-16” so if you know what that means, you’re ahead of us. The 5F stamp is there, along with a blue Par Avion label, Grade: 2

Other churches have claimed the honor, including Everdon, Northamptonshire. Gray is buried at St Giles. John Penn of Stoke had built a large monument displaying the Elegy nearby.” As for the card, unused, aged, unattributed, unnumbered, and clean. Grade: 1
-
Winchester, Church of St. Cross (England)
From an official website, “The Church of St Cross in Winchester is the private chapel of the Hospital of St Cross, but it also acts as the parish church to the St Faith’s community.” This is Frith’s Series card 55881, not postally used but with an ancient message covering the reverse. Grade: 4
