Excerpt from The Reliquary and Illustrated Arch???ologist, Vol. 11: A Quarterly Journal and Review Devoted to the Study of the Early Pagan and Christian Antiquities of Great Britain; Medi???val Architecture and Ecclesiology; The Development of the Arts and Industries of Man in the Past Ages; And the Survivals of Ancient USA Changes so radical, and accompanied in the near past with so much violence and destruction, that almost all alteration has been on the side of loss and loss, too, of much that is quite irreparable. So altered in aspect within are our ancient churches, that their aforetime priests and deacons, could they revisit the scenes of their mortal lives, would hold up their hands in horror to view the vicissitudes of their holy places; to miss so much of what they had considered essential to worship. What a radical difference in the appearance - and something more than appearance - of the interior of a church has been effected by the universal removal of the mods and their screens; by the obliteration Of the mural paintings which adorned the walls of probably every church, to the brightening of the whole internal aspect, and the enlightening of the unlettered rustics! In an interior so entirely altered by such great changes as these, countless minor alterations would be the less lamented, though they could not pass unnoticed. It would be an extremely instructive and interesting under taking to restore the interior of but one ancient church to the aspect it presented in pre-reformation days. There are a certain number of ancient churches in the country at present unused, from various circumstances, any one of which a committee of ecclesiologists could restore to its ancient aspect if half the money now spent on replacing ancient east-end windows with the costly modern amboyant fenestral efforts of ambitious architects were devoted to this object. Fees of visitors would in all probability produce no inconsiderable sum if such a project were carried out.
