FULTON'S FOLLY? St. Mary Aldermanbury, a 1 7th
century London church built by Sir Christopher Wren,
may soon be on its way to Missouri's Fulton University.
What is left of the church will have to be dismantled
stone by stone for shipment, and some critics believe
the prohibitive cost of the operation might not be worth
all of the trouble or the structure.
Fulton University Bids
For Old London Church
LONDON NEA - Missouri's
Fulton University is about to be
given a genuine 17th Century
church built by Sir Christopher
Wren, considered to be England's
greatest' architect.
The church is St. Marv Alder
manbury, completed in 1677. The
London Diocese of the Church of
England is offering it to the
Missouri university free.
Some critics here feci that the
Church of England is getting off
easy, that it should have paid
Fulton University to cart the
church away. For St. Mary Alder
manbury is no thing of beauty.
It is a smoke-blackened, beaten-
up wreck, its interior gutted by
fire during a 1940 air raid. The
bell-shaped turret atop its tower
was knocked off and the stained-
glass windows were punched out.
The nave is open to the sky.
. Still Fulton University is wel
come to what is left. Only i
few formalities remain. Parlia
menlary approval for the move is
needed because St. Mary Acler-
manbury, on the street of that
name, is owned by the Church of
England an'd is therefore slate
property.
Bills giving permission for the
project will be filed in Parlia
ment later this year. If they pass

HOWARD F. HUTCHINS
Christians
Plan Series
Howard F. Hutchins of Clover
dale. Ore., will be the guest
speaker for a week of messages
al the Suburban Christian Church,
5833 Shasta Way, from March 31
through April 7.
'Mr. Hutchins will draw on his
experience of more than 40 years
in the ministry for the meme of
the series. "The Church."
as seems likely, the work of mov
ing an estimated 655 tons of ma
sonry by ship will begin, and St.
Mary Adermanbury will serve as
a chapel for Fulton's 650 students.
"We anticipate .absolutely no
trouble," said the Archdeacon of
Hackney, who is in charge of ne
gotiations. It may have been fan
cied, but there seemed to be a
note of relief in his voice.
Fulton University wants the
church to commemorate Winston
Churchill's speech there in March,
1946, in which he coined the fam
ous phrase "iron curtain" to de
scribe the division of Europe.
It is after Parliamentary per
mission has been given that the
fun would begin for the university
First of all. the church would
have to be dismantled stone by
stone, and the stones crated, and
the crates numbered, and stowed
in the hold of a ship. Once in
Missouri, the stones would have
to be reassembled according to
master plan.
The cost of this operation would
be prohibitive, according to best
estimates here.
Would it be worth all the trou
ble? Would St. Mary Alderman
bury one day be known as Ful
ton's Folly?
The chances are good that this
would be history's verdict. For St,
Mary Aldermanbury is not one of
Wren's best churches he built
St. Paul's Cathedral). Most crit
ics find it downright mediocre.
The church? once divorced from
its present setting, might become
quite meaningless. For in London
it is rich in historical associa
tions from Shakespeare to Lord
Chief Justice Jeffreys, known as
"The Hanging Judge."
Two of Shakespeare's friends
and fellow players. John Heminge
and Henry Condell, lie buried in
the church garden. Heminge
played Falstaff at the Globe The.
aire, but that is not why he is
remembered. His great service
to mankind Is that he collected
Shakespeare's plays and published
them: otherwise, they would have
been lost.
As for "Hanging ' Judge" Jef
freys, whose proud boast' was
that he had hanged more men
than any English judge since Wil
liam the Conqueror, he lies buried
beneath the church altar.
When retribution finally caught
up with him, Jeffreys tried to flee
England disguised as a sailor, Dut
he was not recognized. Rescued
from a lynch mob, he was locked
up in the Tow er of London, where
he died in 1689. His body was dug
up four years later and lowered
into the family vault beneath the
church.
Jeffreys will not accompany the
Wren church when it goes td
America, church officials said.
But his ghost may well accom
pany all those stones. Fulton Uni-
