House of Prayer, Little Braxted

Click on the 'play' symbol in the second image to see all my photographs of this church as a slide show, then click on any image in the slideshow to see it large in a new page. Alternatively, if you don't have flash enabled, you can go straight to the set for this church on flickr. The great church artist Ernest Geldart was Rector of Little Braxted from 1883 to 1900, and he built this little chapel beside his Rectory in 1885. The Little Braxted churchwarden, whom I bumped into by coincidence at Wickham Bishops on the annual churchyard springclean detail, said he thought Geldart had become infirm and couldn't manage the four mile round trip to St Nicholas anymore, but I don't think that can be right. I suspect he had it built when he was Rector, so that he could use it for even more extreme Romanist liturgies than he could reasonably carry out at St Nicholas This chapel, incidentally, is dedicated as St Mary's House of Prayer. Simon Knott, April 2013
