Wood flooring features in historical Anglican church

The wood flooring of an historical Anglican church has been promoted as adding to its history in a new article.

Writing for Lookout, columnist Ben Green reported on St Paul's church in Esquimalt, British Columbia.

He described the ornate features of the house of worship, including its worn wooden floors, original chestnut pews and massive pipe organ.

"There's history here," said Mr Green. "While this church has been a symbol of resilience in the community, remaining untouched for generations, the local Anglican diocese is suffering."

He went on to explain that in the Canadian city of Victoria, the Anglican diocese has hit "hard times". Many churches are closing and buildings are being increasingly sold off to generate revenue.

Historical wood flooring was also praised in a recent column for the Luxist by Deidre Woollard. She named Portland Place her estate of the day and noted the manor's range of antique features, such as its ornate stonework.
