Seeing double
Most people who came through the north door didn't realise there were two of them.

The glass door and wooden frame on the right and the kneeler on the left were given in memory of churchwarden Philip Deebank. |
The door has now been closed off and a toilet suitable for use by the disabled has been built there.
