St. Marks Church

Went to meet up with the priest we met at the church beside Hyde Park today. As promised, he was bringing us to a church which he claimed was closed to the public. (But he has the key for it)...Originally, I thought it was really a cool idea...thinking it might be some extremely old church with a super long history, where there might be some secrets or treasures within it to be discovered or something.

To my surprise, the church which the priest was refering to is the one right beside the place where I am currently living. Yah...I did know about this old castle-like building beside my residence, and always feel creepy by the cemetery that surrounds it (YAH!!! I live beside a cemetery!!! not the first time anyway...haha)...but didn't really think much about it.

According to the priest, St. Marks Church was build in the 1820s and in the later years, it was purely used for funeral purposes. It stop functioning only in the year 2002...so its still quite recent la...He actually brought us through some spiral stairway (which was totally covered by pigeon feathers with some dead pigeons lying around) to the second level of the church...can really get an impressive view from there :)

As usual, Jai do the talking while I do the exploring and photo taking...haha...

Main building of the church...the clock stopped at 9...Wonder if there is any significance to it...hmmm....(think i watch too much movie liao...haha)

Interior of the church...While walking around, I felt that some of the floor cement panels were hollow down there. We questioned the priest about this and indeed, there is about 7 feets of empty space between the cement floor and the land. Wonder what they hide down there...hmmmm....

Front of church: Looking at those random objects around...chair, broken bulbs etc...keeps me wondering who was the last person who uses these stuff and how was it really like in the 1820s...haha...Anyway...there was a small room located at the front of the church...its damn dark inside...seems like anything can jump out from there anytime...so ya...I didnt go inside...dammit...think I really watch much tv liao...:S
