NUMBER 74

BENCHMARKS continued

Old churches, especially those belonging to the Protestant faiths, are a good place to look for benchmarks. And so it came to pass that as Benchmarker was on the excursion to Garville Avenue, a detour was made to check out Christ Church, Rathgar, situated at the junction of Rathgar Road and Highfield Road in Dublin. And sure enough, this one was spotted on the front of the building.
