Asks Fr Clare to follow architect's measurements. He cannot pass drawing as it is. Tells him to bring artist to his ideas. Asks for proper drawing of new design for him to decide whether to pass it. Altar table too narrow for corporal & missal stand.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Proposing new altar in memory of Fr Allen. Sends sketch. It will be suitable for new church when built. Describes it. No difficulty in raising money for it. Artist is the one who did the Stations of the Cross. Total cost about £50. Sorry about Bishop's indisposition.
Bishop annotation: "gradine too high in proportion to the altar. Whole is ??? Sent back drawings March 10 1931".
Pleased Bishop agrees with him about height of altar piece. He has had great tussle with artist as she made it higher in the sketch & some priests were in favour. Architect agreed it should be lower. Sacristan will then be able to put candles on altar without using steps.
Clare, Wallace George Rev FRSA, FIGRS (1895-1963)Bishop returns drawing of Altar. He does not like it; it is too like a couple of boxes. Those he showed it to thought it was a vestment chest & liked it as such. But, if Fr Clare wants it, has found money for it & subscribers like it, he can have it.

Portable altar set up ready for Mass.
Reverse: "Fr Mac2's First Pre-Vatican II portable altar. It was in two pieces - a fairly heavy folding table (made of beechwood) - there was an oblong hole in the centre of the top for the altar stone. The other piece was an oblong beechwood frame which screwed onto the top back edge of the table and on which the reredos curtain and crucifix were hung. All other altar prerequisites I carried in a big case (as seen in the photo). This photo I took in a pub in Histon (Cambs) one Sunday in 1959 - Notice I turned the dartboard to face the wall!
