My sister and I grew up in Brighton in the Preston area and have many fond memories of attending services at St Peter's Church next to Preston Manor during our childhood.
We were both terribly worried at the fate of "our" church when some years ago it was declared redundant and regular services stopped.
On returning to Brighton last weekend to stay with relatives we were both delighted to see it has been adopted by the Churches Trust and was open with a splendid exhibition by artists from the Red Hen Collective as part of the wonderful May Festival.
It is always a pleasure to return to one's home town but this use of our beloved and once neglected church made this a very special visit for us.
