Taken some time to sit down and write this, but here's a record of a very successful visit to St. Marys' church in north London. A beautiful Victorian brick structure in a wonderful state of preservation. Loved it as soon as I saw it, an airy space laden with a sparse, precious spirituality. The large icon above the chancel struck me dumb as the afternoon light shone over the image of Christ.
Aside from my goggling at the building we also had some fixing to do. The memorial was not as heavy as some we've been asked for, but due to the pronounced tripartite shape was somewhat more delicate, and delicately handling a stone plaque is an exercise in both endurance and patience. This however made eventual success all the more rewarding. My thanks to the kind clergy, trust members and caretakers who recieved and looked after us so warmly. Pictures to follow!
