Historic Church Restored.

A religious ceremony has just been
performed in a remarkable church in
the heart on Milton Abbey Woods,
Dorset, England The little church
was erected there in the year 93S by
King Athelstan and dedicated to st.
Catherine, and until the reformation
was regularly used by the monks of
Milton. Thereafter it fell into disuse,
and in process of time into desecration.
In turn It was utilized as pigeon
house, as laborer's cottage, as car
penter's shop and as lumber store,
and was rapidly falling into decay
when Everard Hambro, the lord of the
manor, resolved to restore it. The res
toration was completed about week
ago, but has been so reverently done
that most of the old Saxon, Norman
and perpendicular work it contained
remains intact. and an incised "indul-
gence" inscription on it's south door has
been perfectly preserved.
