The parish church of All Saints

The church is a new one to me- in spite of knowing the area very well.  It is very beautiful and like a Suffolk country church- 15th century.  Not a bit gran, a lovely light coming in and toilets squashed into a corner.  The church is open a great deal and struggles to make much needed repairs.  It is in an unfashionable area and its congregation not rich or famous.  It deserves to have a rich patron to restore the bridal path outside and enrich  this rather drab part of London.

The Vicar showed a small group of us around- rev Stennet Kirby and the ladies of the church were very hospitable.  It was a gorgoeus place to be and made up for the rush back home to see poor Stoke had lost the cup final.  In my mind, Stoke FC is far more beautiful than the vulgar, rich Manchester City.  Like The Parish Church of West ham compared to the big, brash Christ Church Spitalfields.  So much money has been poured into that..
