When the diocese of Worcester its 1300th anniversary in 1980 this cross of nails was given to it by the Bishop and people of Coventry.
Something strange happened when I clicked on your site today – it said “website expired”. I had to search by Google to find this one.
My blog moved onto a different server about a year a ago. I think perhaps for some reason you were directed to the old server which is now off line. I hope it doesn’t happen again!
what a great tribute and idea!!!
