My father had just returned from an RAF airplane crash and they took the opportunity of the family being together for a neice’s christening to hold their blessing as due to the bombing they had had a hurried marriage

Its very sad as I was babtised there and my mum and dad were married there as were several members of my extended family. I was in the cubs attached to Holy Trinity back in the 60s.

Built with income raised from the blood of the people of India. I don’t think the founders got God just right. Some of the comments above sounds much more on track.

I always find deconsecrated churches rather sad. Particularly when they’ve been stripped and no longer have an apparent purpose. If only they could be ‘reconsecrated’ to something else–community, fellowship–anything that might give them life again.

Albeit temporary.
A new government is coming and they will sort everything……..

To be able to bathe in the history of your finds is a treasure. Thank you.

(That’s a technical term us experts in restoration use when assessing old buildings..)
