That's absolutely awful. I refuse to understand how someone could commit a crime so shamelessly and insensitively. Thank you for bringing attention to this, so that St. Mary's Church in Carleton Forehoe can live on in new ways. On a brighter note, great to have you back :)
Thank you so much, @voronoi. It is a shame indeed. And to think there are businesses that market to such churches for alarm protection like the link I posted at the bottom.
I have a bunch of architectural posts coming with you in mind! I'm slowly re-emerging. ;)
