Let’s set record straight. I was in room when #DonaldTrump crashed the weekly Governors meeting led by #MikePence. Trump praised #TimWalz's handling of protests in 2020
It was same day Trump: talked about wanting 2 shoot the protestors, wanted law enforcement 2 violently clear #LafayetteSquare & stood in front of #StJohnsChurch holding a bible. It was 1 of the darkest days of the #Trump Presidency & clear sign of what was to come. Facts matter.
_The Evening Post_, 31 July 1924:
THE MOTOR FATALITY
CAR OUT OF CONTROL
DIXON STREET ACCIDENT
Further details to hand concerning the tragic sequel to a wedding, mentioned in “The Post” yesterday, show that the marriage was that of Miss Iris Perkins, of Wellington, to Mr. James Spence, of Petone. The ceremony took place at St. John’s Church, Willis street, the Rev. Dr. Gibb officiating, and the bride and bridegroom left by car for a photographer’s studio.
A few minutes later a party of three … entered the second car, which was stationed near the Dixon street entrance to the church. The vehicle was facing down hill, and as soon as the driver … released the brakes, it became out of control, and bounded on to the footpath among the startled guests, finally crashing into a concrete wall. Miss Martha Elizabeth #Scatchard was killed almost instantly, and six others were injured.…
It is understood that an examination by a motor inspector of the car which caused the fatality has revealed the hand brake to be out of order.

Laying in the corner of what was once the churchyard of St John’s in Skirbeck are the broken remains of gravestones along with bits and pieces of rubble.
I suppose that they were piled in a corner at one time but they are now just scattered around, sad isn’t it?

On this side of the fence that runs along the centre of my photo is the land on which St John’s Church once stood. On the other side is a piece of land that was known as St Augustine’s Pasture, and behind that, where six grain silos stand, is the site of St Augustine’s Friary founded in 1317 by the Tilney family.
In the July of 1930, in the old friary pasture, a firm of timber merchants were digging foundations for their new sheds when they found human skeletons just four feet below the surface.

On this spot in about 1200, a hospital was founded and dedicated to St Leonard. Its function was to care for ten poor of the community. Thirty years later, Thomas de Moulton gave the hospital, along with rights to the land, to the Knights Hospitallers of St John’s of Jerusalem. A number of knights lived out their days here and a tomb of one of them can be found in St Botolphs Church in Boston town’s marketplace.
St Leonard’s Hospital became St John’s Hospital and by 1287 there was a chapel added, this became St John’s Church, the cemetery of which you can see in my photos. The church was in use until the 17th century when it became unfit for purpose and was demolished.
