Hi Trish, Many thanks for this information and the links..fantastic! It confirms a vague story I had heard back in the 70's from my uncle, who i thought had said something about trying to track down the church, and it being sold. Didnt know whether i had dreamt it or not! :) I will certainly try the Ask a Librarian option..and persevere with the Diocese Archives contact. It will be interesting to know what happens to windows/tablets etc when churches are sold. Thanks again Trish, Cheers Sue Trev Symonds wrote: > Hi Sue, > > I couldn't find it in the White Pages or on the Anglican Church website, but > did find mention of St Paul's in Redfern having been sold to the Greek > Orthodox Church in 1969 - > http://www.stlukesliverpool.org.au/history/ > http://www.sds.asn.au/site/102720.asp?ph=cp > > A google search turns up a book at the National Library "St Paul's Church > Redern, Souvenir, Diamond Jubilee 1855-1915"; perhaps Ask A Librarian may be > of help? > http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/3034554 > http://reftracker.nla.gov.au/reft100.aspx?key=Enquiry&qnudftb17=http%3A%2F%2Fcatalogue.nla.gov.au%2FRecord%2F3034554 > > Photos of the church at NSW State Library - > http://acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/search/simpleSearch.aspx?authority=place&ID=145389 > > The Anglican Church archives may be your best bet for finding out what > happened to the dedication. > > Cheers > Trish > Nowra NSW > > >> I was wondering if anyone has come across a St Pauls Anglican Church in >> Redfern...

Don't know what would happen in Australia, but just found out something about a family parish church here in the UK which was demolished. Once the church is sold for demolition anything in it becomes the property of the demolition company. So furnishings, stained glass windows etc can all be sold off. And anything that isn't saleable, whatever it might be, goes for hard-core. The subject arose because the next parish wanted some particularly fine stained glass windows as a memento, and had to buy them off the company.
