	Notes on Wool Church, Dorset by Alfred C. Fryer (1898)
		The chancel arch in Wool Church is the work of the thirteenth century, and it is not only most pleasing in appearance, but is possibly a unique form of chancel arch of this period.
		Wool Church, however, possesses a cresset-stone which is nearly in as good a condition as when it left the hand of some mediæval workman.
		The foundations, however, remain, and the church, cloister court, sacristy, chapter-house with monumental slabs, slype leading into the cemetery, calefactory divided by a row of columns, may all be accurately traced, and conform to the usual Cistercian ground-plan.

		Wool from the long thick fleece of the native Cotswold breed of sheep – the “Cotswold Lion” – provided more than half of England’s cloth production and was also exported directly to the continent.

		But this is far from the truth, for on arriving in the centre of the village you will find that St Mary is a towerless church, and the huge building you had been heading towards is a detached bell tower to the south of the church, at the junction of the main roads.
		You step into a church that is simply one of the loveliest buildings in England, full of that paleness and ancient light you find in churches of this age, a simplicity, a chiarascuro, a balm for the soul.
		The church was already locked, but the very nice churchwarden across the road had rescued my bag and had it waiting for me, not having left it in the church because, as he observed patiently, you can't be too careful these days.

		Bearing in mind that this church is half a century newer than Long Melford, Blythburgh, Eye or Southwold, it is still over 450 years old, and the condition is remarkable.
		Not far from the church stands the Guildhall, completed in the 1530s and never used much at all for its original purpose before the Reformation swept the guilds and the chantries and the priests away.

	SonSpring \| Fleecing the Church
		I think the approach of a church working with a developer to implement a 3rd party tool like the ones mentioned has a lot of merit – if the developer is too busy or out of business a year later the church has a ready-made user community to tap for a replacement.
		Funny how a church can send a mailer out to 4,000 people pay for the postage, pay for the printing but expect what’s being sent -the communication itself to be done for free by a volunteer and later wonder why it’s not working.
		I realize that the church will have to spend their money somewhere, whether that be for a CMS / hosting / designer, etc. The issue to me is that of quality and stewardship.
