St Jude's demolition protest, 2002
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2022-05-30

St. Jude's church in Andreas was scheduled for demolition in March 2002, without the parishioners being aware. A protest was organised, on 23 March 2002, to show public support for the preservation of the church in the face of the Bishop of Sodor's decision.
This film was captured at this protest, with interviews with Alan Chapman, Friends of St. Jude's, and Norman Radcliffe MLC.
The church remains standing today.

This short film was created from historical video material captured by Culture Vannin as a part of our ongoing work to document the changing face of the Isle of Man.
