One Corner of London - Joanna Bogle - Bog

This book, published to mark the anniversary of St Bede's Catholic church, Clapham Park tells the story of these hundred years in the parish - an extraordinary blend of human achievement, family links, buildings and bombings, joys, sorrows, disappointments, bureaucracy and real spiritual growth, all mixed up together! From the days when this corenr of London was a place of horse-drawn vehicles and children in sailor suits or dark dresses and white pinafores, to today's traffic-filled streets and denim-jeaned families, this is a record of human life centred round a little church where God is worshipped, loved and honoured.
Joanna Bogle is a Catholic journalist and broadcaster whose previous books include a Book of Feasts and Seasons, a number of historical biographies and a handbook for engaged couples.
