Mum wrote a lovingly detailed booklet about St. Anselm's Church, Hatch End, as a celebration of its centenary. It has sections on the origins of the church and the local history of the surrounding area. There is a review of the interior of the church including the Rood Screen, the Windows and the Organ, plus an account of the life and work of St. Anselm. Mum became ill whilst writing the booklet and, despite a major operation and further treatment, she made sure she completed it. Although she did not live to see a published copy, its existence is a testemony to her spirit and determination. The Foreword is written by The then Archbishop of York, Dr David Hope and he wrote as follows: 'Those expecting no more than the usual 'Parish Church Guide' will be surprised - but by no means disappointed - to find that Pamela Davies has cast her net into a wider sea. She tells the story, not only of the church, but of Hatch End itself, from the days when all was dense woodland, to the present. Although, happily, still not without its trees and a strong sense of its own identity, the 'village' now struggles to fend off the advances of suburbia. The Church itself is given loving and sensitive treatment and the reader is greatly helped by an extensive overview of the life and times of that great Saint and Archbishop, Anselm himself, to whom it is dedicated. All in all, this is a book which visitors and 'locals' alike will value and enjoy'
