They are not all what one would think of as a vicar because most of them are continuously cruising. They do tend to have a favourite patch on the system and get a little 'flock' of boaters especially in winter on winter moorings etc.<br />We only know of one floating church. We are visiting it next Thursday, 28th.

I got mine in Waterstones but it is sometimes displayed outside Marks boat on the Hythe Bridge Arm (not sure of the name – the book says it is No 12)<br />The Oxfordshire County Council website has lots of old photos, including the chapel one. I can’t do a direct link. Try the Library and Heritage link then search for “oxford canal”.<br />Not sure about the niceties of copyright on these old photos.Dave (on Tinkerbell)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247108.post-83102518802199260032010-01-13T07:00:47.432+00:002010-01-13T07:00:47.432+00:00good grief!
