Sanctuary and Chapel Floors Demolition Part 2

The stone floor slabs under the Blessed Sacrement and Memorial Chapels were a foot lower than the floor under the Sanctuary.  They were made level by a raised wooden floor.  We removed the wooden floors today.  With the flooring in the Memorial Chapel now removed we could now gaze at the tomb of Mary Gilbert, wife of Nathaniel Gilbert the founder of Methodism in Antigua.

The workers were in awe again today as I withheld this little tid bit from yesterday's discussion.  I knew this was going to be revealed once they resumed work this morning.  I dare say none of us will be the same after this restoration.  To God be the Glory.
