I live not quite a quarter of a mile away from the church. My family and I pass it every day. It is very sad to see it this way. My brother went inside once and was spooked because of spirits residing there. He found an organ missing keys, but didn't really go anywhere else in it. I continue to wonder when the beautiful stained glass will be removed so the church can continue to collapse peacefully at its own pace. I'm those windows cost highly in the thousands. Whatever is inside I believe should be donated to a museum for historical churches. Like I said: I live not quite a quarter of a mile away from it. But one thing: I'm glad its cemetery across the road is still being used for burials.
