On occasions I would attend St John's and preach there. I recall the experiences with great joy; the place had an atmosphere all its own, there by the sea, small and intimate, the cool sea breeze making those sultry evenings more bearable.<br /><br />I would love to see photographs of the restored interior of the church, if anyone can present them?<br /><br />Warm good wishes to all at St John's.<br /><br />Bill markham Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580612332367811681.post-19180517364046392962013-07-29T15:16:04.140+00:002013-07-29T15:16:04.140+00:00Hi Nick!

Thanks for your very interesting blog ...Hello Nick:<br />Thanks for your very interesting blog about Tellicherry Church and its restoration. Especially the image of the memorial tablet to Ralph Tatham (1857-1900). He was a distant relative of ours though I don't know much about him. He went to Norwich School in England and in 1887 married his Canadian wife Cecilia at Dagshai. If that's the hill station now in Himachal Pradesh it's a surprisingly long way away. They had 3 daughters, delightfully named Daisy, Elsie and Faith. Each remained unmarried and lived to a great age. I was told Ralph was a tea planter but the place name "Tully Coon" on the tablet is a mystery to me. <br />Congratulations on a fascinating site about a wonderful region.<br />RobertHumblePiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480063190516612509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580612332367811681.post-90284566836578018952010-01-05T08:59:03.986+00:002010-01-05T08:59:03.986+00:00Hi Nick,
