The web site said it was open. So after driving there i walked around the graveyard which was very though provoking about the Canadian soldiers in Kimmel camp to find church locked. The vicar was there wr chatted yes she said its closed when i mentioned about the web site saying it was open she said she knew and they must change it!
A great place to visit. A view to enjoy. From Wikipedia - The church contains fourteen varieties of marble including pillars made of Belgian Red marble, a nave entrance is made from Anglesey marble and shafts of Languedoc marble on bases of Purbeck marble. It also contains elaborate woodwork, and in the tower can be found windows of stained glass on the north and south sides, featuring Saint Margaret and Saint Kentigern.
The other remarkable thing is - The churchyard contains the graves of numerous victims of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918–19 in the camp which is nearby - Kinmel Camp, which was a military camp located in the grounds of Kinmel Hall. The camp was used by Canadian troops during the First World War. On 4–5 March 1919 a riot occurred in the camp when the ship allocated to return the troops to Canada was diverted to carry food supplies to Russia. Five Canadian soldiers were killed in the disturbances, four of whom were buried in St Margaret's Churchyard, with the fifth, Gunner John Frederick Hickman, being buried in Dorchester, New Brunswick. A common story is that they were executed for mutiny, but this has been denied by the Canadian Department of National Defence.
I didn't hate it but I was just there for my uncle funeral had to stand out but a lady never closed the door so could hear
Fantastic feat of architecture. I have driven past it for years and admired it but close up its even better. I was suprised to find 90 service graves from WW1 there but who had died from the spanish flu in 1919. Very somber reminder.
Beautiful church to look at in a rather busy environment
