Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches
Absolutely glorious, Prax! Scarcely believable that at least one Edward Pugin interior has survived intact. The stencilwork is amazing.
A pity that the view of the high altar is blocked by the ironing board out in front. I hope it is portable – so much more disposable that way. Perhaps a gift to Armagh on the occasion of their next renovation?
I am making my way through Anthony Symondson, sj, and Stephen Bucknall’s Sir Ninian Comper (Spire Books and the Ecclesiological Society, 2006). Splendid book! Thank you, Luzarches, for bringing it to our notice on this thread.
I hope that all readers marked Candlemas Day on 2 February in suitable fashion, complete with procession and blessing of candles, and that all availed themselves of the Blessing of Throats on the feast of St Blase (3 February).

Here is an example of the kind of paint work you should expect to find in a neo-gothic church: E.W. Pugin’s St. Mary’s in Barrow in Furness
