Storm-hit church strikes back
A humble Baptist church with a front-row view of England’s violent storms has scooped one of the first in a new set of environmental awards.
Lyme Regis Baptist Church – in the town that saw gigantic waves smash into its seafront – is among the initial round of winners for A Rocha UK’s Eco Church award.
