The fact that it once wanted to tear down this beautiful church is one example of that. Others include installing miniature golf courses in cathedrals in summer months so that people would "have something fun to do", and not caring that the tombs of several former archbishops are now in a church building that was turned into a museum of gardening, with a window put into the floor to make the tombs visible. Don't even get me started on the awful vestments that can be seen in some C.o.E. services today. Thank goodness for non-church related societies that work to preserve what the church would cast aside. The 19th century witnessed an incredible burst of beauty and reclamation of ancient forms and usages in English churches, all relegated to the sidelines by those in power who think that having a cross over the door of a Christian church "makes it unwelcoming".Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394379852357655547noreply@blogger.com
