    Beautiful work, Tony. So sad that this lovely building is used for storage!

  • A90Six replied

    The good thing is that it is being used for something or else it would probably have gone the way of other old buildings and be a complete ruin by now. Glad yo liked it! :) Tony.

    Oh that almost feels like a betrayal to use the church as storage… It is beautiful still, Love the light effects :O)

  • A90Six replied

    Thanks Loramae! There is a request in to convert it into three flats and an Art Gallery! We’ll wait and see!
