Summary[edit]

Interior of Church Army Chapel, Blackheath, London, England, in 1965. Showing pews, altar, lectern and screen as installed by the Church Army. The chapel, designed after discussions with Church Army leaders in 1963/64, was built for a central altar with a surrounding congregation and with appropriate acoustics for a central altar and lectern, as in the Roman Catholic cathedral in Liverpool. However - possibly due to a change in committee personnel - the Church Army installed a west-end altar with a screen which partially covered the west end window, and pews facing west. The caption to the photograph in the source was "The college chapel" as it was on the site of the Church Army's Wilson Carlile Training College (now the site of Blackheath High School).

Permission: Letter dated 4th August 2009 from Church Army. The letter contains the postscript: "I give permission for the above photocopied extracts in respect of Church Army Chapel, Blackheath, including the photograph of the College Chapel shown in the June 1965 Church Army Review, to be used on the Wikipedia page. (signed) James Archer, Central Services Director."

Fair use rationale

• Purpose in article: It is necessary to compare (a) how the building was used from May 1965 with a west-end altar (this image) with (b) how the space in the 1965 building made a central altar the most appropriate solution (other images and explanation on Church Army Chapel, Blackheath). No other image of pews and altar from this date has been made available to us with permission to publish on the Church Army Chapel, Blackheath page. This information is pertinent and urgent at present, as the building may be on appeal for Grade II statutory listing, and the relative importance or unimportance of original furnishings of a listed building is part of the listing criteria in the UK. We will not immediately lose the building if it is not listed - in fact the present owners have done their best to keep it - but it is showing signs of gradual deterioration, some of which deterioration may be halted if it were listed.
• Why this image and not text alone: The image serves as visual evidence of the type of moveable and possibly inappropriate furnishings that were in the building while in use as a chapel. This in turn pertains to the type of criteria used to judge candidates for statutory listing in the UK, should the building be considered for listing. This is a pertinent matter right now, as although the owners have done their best to keep the building, it is in some respects gradually deteriorating, and may benefit from listing. For example, the original Bristol blue corner lights are breaking because they are not protected. Bits of mosaic are falling off.
• Who is copyright owner: Church Army. Permission letter allowing usage on Church Army Chapel, Blackheath page has been sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org 13 August 2009.
• How this image doesn't negatively affect commercial value for owner: (1) Permission was for use on the above single page only; (2) It was never a commercial item anyway, being used just once in a Church Army newsletter in 1965, and never even looked at again by the archivist until August 2009. (3) Since the Church Army has sent a permissions letter, that counts as evidence that they are satisfied that usage on the Church Army Chapel, Blackheath page is not a threat to them, commercially or otherwise.
