The English Church Funchal

[ST-EOS]

An interesting building with a great deal of history, built in the early 1800's in an unfamiliar style. Sadly we couldn't go insides as there is some refurbishment going on.
Whilst we were there I was approached by a volunteer gardener, originally from Manchester who wanted his portrait taken for a passport renewal image!

Here's a link if anyone would like some details of the history of the Church LINK

1. The exterior



2, A quiet corner in the grounds



3. Royal Lines



4. Princess of England, Queen of Portugal

What a lovely set Peter, like the Remembrance Corner and link. well done. Agree somewhat strange looking Church as we are custom, looks more like the local council offices!

A good set of pics and an interesting story, good to see. Unusual designs are much more interesting!

Nice photos, well done.

I personally don't think the Church looks that old!

Colin last week the Church celebrated its Bicentenary, with music concerts and other event, sadly we left before the events started. I understand that the upkeep of the church is mainly funded by the events, concerts etc. that are held there.
