Were the 2 Churches Near?

I have looked on google maps for this and it seems to show a few minute walk or so, but I thought I would ask this question to see if anyone local can help.

Two children of a couple were baptised within 2 years of each other at St John Deritend (1770 and 1772), 2 years later (1774) up to 13 years later (1787) they had 8 more children baptised at St Martins. Two children were then baptised at St Phillips at the same time in 1788, and then 2 more children were baptised back at St Martins up to 3 years later (1789 and 1791).

The question I ask would this be feasible to have baptisms at St John Deritend and then St Martins, are they quite near to each other? I have no idea why the other 2 children were baptised at St Phillips.

Ultimately I am trying to find out if all these children come from the same couple with the same names, especially the 2 that were baptised at St John Deritend and St Martins.

Many thanks for comments.

In my tree I have baptisms at St. John's and St. Martin's for one family, and then marriages from that family at St. Phillip's. Hope that helps.
 
St Johns was about half a mile from St Martins but in the opposite direction from St Phillips. Dek
 
Many thanks Northfield and dek carr for your help.

Northield, can you just clarify please the baptisms that you mention that are from St Johns and St Martins being for one family, are the children the result of one couple?
