Horton update

The snap above came with an update from the people turning the Horton Chapel into a community space with added art. It certainly looks as if they are making a smart job of the interior and it will be interesting to see what these replica hanging lights look like in the flesh. Hopefully better than the rather large and ugly ones in Westminster Abbey. And let's hope that they can afford a paint job every few years - associating here to the renovation of St. John's Smith Square, which I remember as once having a similar amount of blue and gold highlight, now faded, nearly away.

I wonder if the local Muslims would have spent as much money on it if they had been allowed to take the chapel over - which I still think would have been a generous gesture. We will see what I think when we have taken a light lunch, hopefully sometime in the autumn.
