[QUOTE="egbert, post: 7068825, member: 9965"] Good post. Mrs E and myself oft look into churches on our travels for just the same reasons! (sometimes we take a friend on our outings , who happens to be a conservation architect...makes for very informative jaunts) And I've thought about their future a lot. 500 years of my forebears are buried in the local churchyard, beside an outstandingly beautiful church. It would've been built with the effort of the locals, and we're culturally influenced to use it for matches and despatchs - hardly any 'hatches' use it now I believe- my little cherubs will surely be going to hell, cos we never had em sprinkled. I now have a niggling resentment toward the blow-in clergy who dictate what happens to the building and churchyard. Some are fine, and make it their business to try and find the right way forward, while occasionally an evangelical type will start laying down the law. There is clearly a crash coming one way or the other. Another large church locally is now closed due to colossal repair work currently unfunded. It would already be fallen down/sold if it weren't for a particular historical quirk. I don't know that frivolous usage works for me...the whole idea of a quiet reflective place is very much part of their beauty. [/QUOTE]
