The chapel as it was then, (referred to as "the courtiers chapel"), was dedicated to King Charles the Martyr in 1684 to offset the Puritain Mount Ephraim and Mount Sion, names conferred on two of the town's hills, by dissenting developers.<br />It was consecrated as a church in 1878.<br /><br />I don't think the Star of David has anything to do with Disraeli, who was baptised as a child and would not, if he had not been a member of the Church of England, been able to take his seat in the House of Commons, a prohibition, which, at the time, applied equally to Catholics. More likely, the star finds its way on to the drain pipe as a masonic symbol.<br /><br />M-L We walked past King Charles the Martyr on our way to the Pantiles on the day of your visit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-19046283750710509782010-02-17T21:55:27.461+00:002010-02-17T21:55:27.461+00:00I also enjoyed the image of the wok in the garden,...I also enjoyed the image of the wok in the garden, home of dark red flowers and thirsty birds.<br /><br />I'm curious about the 1880 with the Star of David in the photo? Looks like some interesting history (and from that time period the only prominent British Jew who comes to mind at the moment is Disraeli).HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-86623491041911155102010-02-17T19:23:51.318+00:002010-02-17T19:23:51.318+00:00I to love mental images of the planter
