The Garrison Church, Southsea, Hampshire
With a statue of Admiral Lord Nelson in the foreground. Taken back in May this year.
The church was built around 1210-1214, initially as a hospital and shelter for the poor and travellers. Then from around 1540 it became an armoury and storehouse for the military. In the 17th century it became a chapel for the military garrison.
It was restored in the 1860s, but then in WW2 it was bombed and the nave roof was destroyed. The nave is now just a shell, but the chancel is still a consecrated space.
