On a cold May day last year we visited St Clement Danes about an hour before it closed for the day. In the event it had already closed but we could see someone moving about inside. We found the right door, the one with the worn knob, and waited. One by one the lights were switched off and the door opened to reveal the caretaker wh was closing early having had no visitors that day.
One of our party had travelled from Canada and we had come from up North. When he realised we were not casual tourist he bade us enter and we spent the next hour being guided around, looking for the sqn badge of the Canadian's uncle and the MiLs wartime boyfriend.
It was well worth the visit and many thanks to the lonely caretaker.
