Reflection of Andrew Underwood, 21 Feb 2007. Had Leslie Sturman still been in office the Objectors would not have been able to hold up the project for many months - at considerable cost in terms of time spent in argument and administrative efforts involving formal legal processes. The Objectors, after all, comprised almost the entire representation of their party on an electoral roll of 433. But it is easy at a distance of two decades to say how things ought to have been done, and although circumstances forced my removal from the Church of England before the canopy was installed I still think that of all I was involved in at Ampthill (building projects apart) the restoration of the Tabernacle of Our Lady and all that went with it was the project ofwhich I am most proud.
