I'm sure I've read somewhere that 'Akenfield' is actually a composite of
several villages in the area so it's probably a nearby church - the chapter
about 'the tower captain' certainly appears to be about a real person -
anyone know who?

 

The book is an excellent social history document. In 2004, a journalist
named Craig Taylor wrote a book called 'Return to Akenfield' which takes the
same format as the original and looks at people in the present day. The
author of the original book, Ronald Blythe, is one of those featured.
