A 2/6 CHURCH
St. Katherine Coleman, now in an advanced stage of demolition, says a London paper, was one of King Henry VIII.’s 2s Od churches, the rectors of which were allowed that sum per pound on rental rates. Before commutation in 1864 the income had risen to £3145. But that sum was liable to heavy deductions on behalf of poorer churches, and the commuted Income, less these charges, was watered down to £4OO, plus some city rentals, which produced, in 1 SOS, £6B net. Tho average morning attendances in that year were 19 clergy, choristers and, officials, and 19 other worshippers.
