 portant objects which would otlierwise be dispersed or destroyed

The Members then proceeded to ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH, where 

 ALDERMAN HASKINS read a series of valuable notes on the 

 history of the building and pointed out the many objects of interest

 glass in the windows were examined with interest. After this
