JWK Posted 22 October , 2022 Share Posted 22 October , 2022 I was in that chapel by myself, many moons ago. If you're there alone it's a "special" atmosphere for sure. I read accounts of '14-'18 attendances of church services there, when it was more than full attendance and soldiers blocking the (very steep!) stairway, to at least capture part of the service. Talbot house must be sturdy, able to accomodate the weight of all those soldiers during services! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
