Garrison Church
Taken from ‘The Portsmouth that has passed’ by William G Gates:
Charles II married his Portugese bride Catherine of Braganza here in 1662. Two centuries of decline and disrepair followed until the chapel was restored in 1867 to become the Garrison Church. It was reduced to a burnt out shell during one of Portsmouth’s worst second World War air raids on January 11th 1941 it stands today as a silent memorial.’
War is not just a thing that affects the soldiers.

Hi Andrew…after looking at all your photos, I find it difficult to criticise anything…even constructively. I especially like the history and thoughts you write with your photos. The HMS Hood veteran is especially creative. Thank you!

Nice atmosphere on this one.

Sensational image Andrew. There seems to be this amazing aura around the building, almost a glow… the birds, for me, cap off a wonderful design element in the image. Great shot!

I love the whole composition of this. The light coming through the windows makes me thing of it as the coming of morning after a long, difficult night. The end of a hard fight.
