138: St George’s Memorial Church in Ypres
Update: 2025-07-21
Description
In this episode we visit the Anglican church in Ypres that was built when Ypres was redeveloped in the 1920’s. Why did Ypres need a British church? Who were the worshippers? Why did they build a British school next door? And what happened in 1940 when the Germans occupied Ypres? How did the British people escape and what happened to the church? We go on a tour of the church and look at some of the hundreds of memorials displayed on the walls, and we have a chat with the Chaplain, Reverand Richard Clement.
