More about this scene

This must have been a rarefied atmosphere for clerics and scholars in a world only just recovering from the trauma of Britain's war with Germany. Incidentally, the cross from the prison grave of the former Laurel Court teacher, Edith Cavell, was recently presented to the Royal London Hospital Archives, along with the Union flag which draped her coffin and her last letter written to her fellow nurses.
