Accident at Heanor Church
This church recently rebuilt and only opened a few weeks ago, has been the scene of an accident. The chancel part of it stands on an eminence some eight or nine feet above a public footpath, on the church side of which there is now a nine-inch brick wall. On Sunday night, just after the congregation had separated, this wall gave way, and with it three feet of ground, as well as a few gravestones. The chancel window is now only a foot from the edge of the bank, and has a very precarious appearance, so much so that the people living in the houses opposite to it are afraid to go to bed at night for fear that part of the building should fall before morning. Happily no one was injured when the wall fell, but if it had fallen during the day it is more than likely that the result would have been very serious.
