St Ambrose's Church, Speke

[edit]
  • ... that St Ambrose's Church, Speke, claims to be the first Roman Catholic church in England to be completed to a rectangular plan with a free-standing altar?

Created by Peter I. Vardy (talk). Self nominated at 15:16, 29 September 2013 (UTC).

  • Article - created new on 29 September, so new enough; 2680 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; earwig doesn't seem to be working this morning; and assessed as start class.
  • Hook - within length criteria at 154 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #2 in last sentence of 'Appraisal' section; and interesting.
  • I had a minor concern that "rectangular plan with a free-standing altar" was thrown up by dup detector but, to be honest, cannot think of how else it can be worded; having given it some thought I think it's a standard phrasing so should be okay (it is also used in the hook). If anyone feels it should be within quotes, fair enough....
  • QPQ done; no image.
Interesting article, I'm also intrigued with the church being described as "unshakeably redolent of a sports hall and boiler chimney" which seems to aptly describe many construction trends in that era. SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:37, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
