Aug 2012: All Hallows Church

So this is the All Hallows Church, which I spotted while out on the bike. This is in North Greenford

This is a strange church, very blocky, looks like a prison

The few pieces of bunting try bravely to improve the looks but they end up making it worse

The garden is a bit overgrown, but the raised beds with the roses stand for the crown of thorns.

I suppose its ok

PhotobucketThis notice talks about this garden having the Christian theme at heart. With a stone paved cross, the two sweeping paths out to the public footpath are arms of an angel. There are many such symbols like 3 rocks standing for the trinity.

These raised flower beds look good.

A memorial bench
