Chapel and Ground Floor Pew Boards Completed
The Ground Floor pew boards, Blessed Sacrament and Memorial Chapel floors have been completed. The pews have been brought in and stored on the ground floor level so I did not get a good shot of the completed floor boards in the nave.
Amazing the work that has been carried out we visited 29th Nov 16 and were absolutely pleased to see such effort put into the work. It might have taken 7 years to get this far but is well worth the effort of getting it right. Thanks to all for such a life-time experience
My 3rd great grandfather brought his whole family to Antigua in 1840 to work on the interior of the cathedral, since he was a carpenter. One of his sons was even born there. Then after the cathedral was built, he took his whole family back to England. But ultimately, the family went to Canada, then Ohio, and then most to Florida. His name was Thomas Evill.
