This is a remarkable building. More history and more photos to follow. I
am not happy with the ones I have taken, but as far as I am aware these
are the only ones published of the memorials and pulpit. I feel I will be returning here to update the pictures at some time.
There is more information on these memorials at the War Memorials Archive numbers: 42403 and 42404.

| Designed by Walter Marsden. The bottom line says "VITA NUOVA MCMXVIII" Not quite sure of the translation - Seems to mean "the new life+1918" The year is undoubtedly right but the translation is enigmatic considering the content of the image above: An angel appearing to bear a naked man away. The sun is rising (hopefully) in the background bottom right. Lovely image though. |
