 Please visit the page for the  Prayer Book Society, (PBS) where I print a sample of previous magazines of the society.   

This site also covers something of the extensive history of this well-loved church. Chiefly is it intended to show that the building still houses a vibrant church and community which intends to welcome everyone .

       The text for both the Rectors page and also the History page is not my work and I acknowledge with gratitude the authors of both pieces. They have given me immense pleasure in reading both texts, and I take equal joy in introducing their work to other readers. 

The "Rectors"  and "Tour"  pages have also been  enhanced with  images presented in a various styles. The photographs are my own efforts: I hope that they add to enjoyment of these pages
