Photographs of the interior of St. John's Anglican Church, Lunenburg, December 7, 2001




Ed Jordan, co-chairman of the Restoration Committee, was kind enough to take time out in order to give the webmaster a hard-hat tour of the interior of the church.

The white appearing in the photographs is not snow - white tarpaulins, primarily, have been put in place as a temporary protection against the weather. There are also pieces of clear poly blowing around in some of the images.

As a comparison, see the images at November 2 and a couple of days after. Evident below is the massive amount of clean-up that has been done over the last few weeks, mostly by volunteers.
