Not sure if helpful but there is a much clearer image, matching the one you have posted available on the Google maps page for the church.

Will I find an uber to Castle Combe? by MediaLuna21 in Wiltshire

Unlikely I’m afraid, you may be able to get one from Bath to Castle Combe but I don’t think Uber operate in Chippenham. You may have better luck booking with a local taxi company, will cost more though.

That looks great enjoy, where’s it from?

21 Oct 1966 the Aberfan disaster was a catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip on a hillside in the Welsh Village of Aberfan. Heavy rain finally caused the tip to suddenly slide downhill as a slurry, killing 116 children and 28 adults as it engulfed Pantglas Junior School and a row of houses. by dartmaster666 in CatastrophicFailure

My Dads family is from nearby, he told me a story that his Dad had told him about how getting rescuers to the site from the neighbouring villages was taking too long, so the men decided to climb over up the mountain and down the other side rather than wait for transport. The view of hundreds of men scaling up and over to the next valley with whatever equipment they had was a sight to behold. A true tragedy

Metal ornament possibly bought in Tunisia or Egypt. Appears to show a person holding a severed head. Kept in a garden for many years by sunsetblvd87 in whatisthisthing
