Lacking an altar stone (I admit I'm guessing here) I think it would make short work in a bonfire. <BR/><BR/>I'm starting to think there was some sense in the madness and that someone somewhere thought- this is temporary insanity and let's make it easy.<BR/>MaryM.

The Cranmer Table in the sanctuary was removed, and additional communion railings were added to three of the side altars.<BR/><BR/>In the 1960s, much of the walls have been painted Battleship Gray color, and there are plans to eventually put in a brighter color scheme.Mark S.
