MR BROCKLEBANK warmly applauds the stern rebuke delivered to the elders of the Roman Catholic Church, in Liverpool, for their failure to find a fitting use for St Mary of the Angels church, in Fox Street, Everton Brow, from Dr Richard Pollard, of California, great- nephew of White Star Line heiress Amy Elizabeth Imrie, who founded, financed and furnished the church.
As Dr Pollard notes, £1m has been found to "disfigure" this church as a rehearsal hall, but no money was forthcoming when the congregation asked for council and ecclesiastical leaders to help it stay open as a place of worship.
