SUPERB RENOVATION of St Michael & St Bishoy Coptic Church in Northdown Road

The outstanding renovation of this building was achieved with funding from English Heritage.

The church building now looks absolutely marvelous. The standard of workmanship appears very high and the end result is a gleaming newly renovated asset for Cliftonville. All credit to the church for giving us a wonderfully refurbished backdrop to Northdown Road.

Please find attached 2 x pictures of St Michael & St Bishoy Coptic Church in Northdown Road, Cliftonville (formerly St Stephen's).

Ed I got a bit behind yesterday two emails for publication from Clive Heart this is the first as he sent two pictures I will use one for each post.

  1. OK Peter a few pictures if your neck of the woods that I took about a week ago, I went off somewhere quiet to try and get the crud out of my old digital slr so they weren’t really intended for publication http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/blogpicts4/id10.htm I promise to go over and do some better ones soon.

  2. This weekend I'm in Margate photographing all the churches I can find, Anglican, Catholic and non-denominational, for the 'Churches of the British Isles' section of the History Files web site (www.churches.historyfiles.co.uk).

    The idea is to combine photos with text describing the history of the church buildings (you can see what I mean from those pages already published), but there seems to be almost no material available online for Margate's churches, so any notes or details that you can supply would be greatly appreciated.

    I really hope you can help out (all contributions will be fully credited, of course).

    Best wishes

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
