Royal Garrison Church - a photo on Flickriver

            Penny Street, Old Portsmouth, Hampshire. 

Royal Garrison Church was built in about 1212 by the Bishop of Winchester as part of a hospital and hostel for pilgrims. Used as an ammunition store after the Reformation, it became part of the governor of Portsmouth's house during Elizabeth 1st reign. 
The church was restored in the 19th century, and although the nave was badly damaged in a 1941 firebomb raid on Portsmouth, the chancel is still roofed and furnished. 
20th century stained-glass windows depicts scenes from the Second World War and from the church's own history.
