Locked churches

[Northern Lass]

Went to a church today to get a photograph for BCC photos and it was locked
I understand why they lock them due to vandalism and probably other activities
but I can remember when you could just walk into a church and sit and it was a lovely
experience.
I am not a religious person but I can appreciate the calm tranquility gained from these marvellous buildings.
It is such a shame that you can't just walk in, sit a while and enjoy the silence and surroundings.

Are Churches near you open all the time?

[Annie]

No our Churches are not open all the time, they used to be like yours and I agree it was lovely just to pop in and sit for a while and say a little prayer , really peaceful and relaxing.

The Churches are locked round here too, too much was stolen from them.
Shame.
