    It makes you think doesn't it. It only she had fallen in love and married a Mr Nigel Wonderland, her name would have then been Alice N. Wonderland.

    How very bizarre to think of little Alice becoming "Mrs Reginald Hargeaves"... If only she'd kept eating the mushroom and stayed small. :-)

    These pics are stunning. I didnt know that was a "real" Alice either. Thanks so much for sharing!!

    Wow, I never knew this existed!

    I love these! I knew there was a "real" Alice but had no idea about this church. Hope you can come up with an article on AC about her. That would indeed be quite interesting.

    I wonder what the real Alice would think if she were to find herself watching the upcoming release of Tim Burton's Alice...in 3D IMAX. As others have stated, I didn't know there was a real Alice...until I read your captions...the most interesting article I've read all day.

    Great shot... the magnificence of houses or worship has always struck me as somehow odd, given the teachings of humility.

    Wow, thanks, I had no idea there was a "real' alice. These pics are great.
