Clearly, the church was going to be a total loss.
But what was the church going to do with it?
The church goes back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
If the church that still stands now goes back to 1124, then there must once have been an older one.
The question, in his own words: "Is the church really going to get smaller?"
They must be praying now that the church will go away.
But there is still the question of how long the church can go without major repairs.
And the Church is going to become a problem if we give them enough time.
When the church went on the market last spring, the association sent out a letter to gauge interest.
"We're trying to model the way the church is going to be, one priest with a whole group of lay people," he said.
