This is the church where I used to be vicar.

Pretty little building.

It's twenty years since I left.

I feel less emotional connection than I do to my old school. In fact I feel very little emotional connection at all. It's a place where I once spent some time and that's about it. The memories I have of it aren't particularly fond, but nor are they particularly hostile. That part of my life seems very distant now.

I like it as much as anything because it's an attractive building. It's a pity I can't show the interior, which is really very fine.

Ah, so perhaps just like any former place of work, then?

Is there a ban on interior photography, or can you just not get a decent picture in the lighting conditions?

"Ah, so perhaps just like any former place of work, then?"

Yes, exactly. It's just a rather decorative office building.

I didn't go inside because they keep it locked.

Well put. By the way, I always thought it strange that they keep the doors to the church locked.

This is the norm over here. We're an irreligious society and churches run a high risk of being robbed and vandalised.
