Summary
One of a series of newspaper cuttings. 'Rev. John Goulton (curate at St. John's, Worksop 1902-1909) and St. Philip with St. Luke, Pennyfoot Street, Nottingham (church built (financed) by Thomas Admas, born Worksop 1807)'. Numbers 22/1 - 22/12. A single cutting from the 'EVENING POST AND NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1963'. 'EDITOR'S LETTER BAG Spirit of St. Philip's lives on, he says The letters from Mr. Ballachey and Mrs. Robinson in con- nection with the demolition of St. Philip with St. Luke's Church, Penny-foot-street, Not- tingham, prompt this reply through the medium of columns. Much as one would like to see Mr. Ballachey's suggestion realized, that the site be retained by the Council as a Thomas Adams Memorial Garden of Rest, we at St. Philip's feel that he is nursing a forlorn hope. Our reactions are accentuated to- wards this view by the fact that every link with the name of Thomas Adams is being destroyed, even the beautiful window which was dedicated to the memory of his daughter Edith, and his bust, which stood above the door- way. The demolition of St. Philip's, we feel, is a breach of faith towards all those who give so freely and sincerely to the church ; also to those who have worshipped in the church for so many years and supported it, and last, but definitely not least, to the Rev. J. Goulton who spent the major part of his lifetime in its service, not en- deavouring to hit the newspaper head- lines and attract publicity to himself, but carrying out his Master's work among the poor of Sneiton in a truly Christian manner. ...'.
