My mother in law used to do cooking in the crypt(Millie Delaney)
and my wife used to do the typing for Dennis Downham.

Great piece. I first visited the crypt in 1996 when a friend was doing a voluntary placement there. The pool table looks familiar and so does the dining area, but the communal dormitory space had been divided up with curtains to give the residents a little privacy.

At that time, the Trust owned (or let?) a couple of flats across the road above the market (one at the corner of Brushfield Street and Commercial Street) and I stayed there a few times in ’96 and ’97. I wonder how much these flats sell for now?

Great guy, great job, great work. Graham is SCT and SCT is Graham.

Graham is an awesome, charismatic, downright incredible person. And an excellent leader too. This recognition is so richly deserved. I know him because Graham and the SCT have been instrumental in my recovery. The work they do is “priceless”.

People like Graham are the glue that holds society together. Wonderful. Humbling.

The work of the spitalfields crypt is really inspiring and wonderful, for 5 years, from 1989, we lived opposite at our home eleven and a half fournier street, which we took a year to restore from fire damaged wreck, the recurrent visitors were charming and humane.

We enjoyed some of the characters and I think some enjoyed our young family presence too.

In many ways I really miss this really warm human and charitable activity in the church.

I am sure the new crypt space will be wonderful, but how many of us locally and of those formerly using the crypt will really benefit?

Graham does a great job working with those who need help and guidance so much, and is one of those quiet heroes of everyday that make our world worth living in. Valerie
