This is truly a shocking image of desolation; although it looks terrible, we need to remember that great buildings have been restored from war damage, often in a time of straitened economic conditions. So, the answer is: don’t hang back hoping for better times, get on with it. Agree with apelles about the old high altar and pulpit; the amount of ‘pressure’ may not be as great as you might imagine. The climate (and fashion) is changing. However, Mr Carroll or his stylistic confreres should be allowed nowhere near it.
Does anyone yet know how the fire started?

Agreed!
